'''Calcutta Municipal Railway'''

The Calcutta Municipal Railway was used to carry the refuse of [[Calcutta]] to a dumping ground at Dhappa , which was known as the Square Mile. It was six miles east of the city in an area of salt marshes. The line ran from Bag Bazar on the Hooghly River to Circular Road and down its whole length as far as Theatre Road. There were two junctions opposite Dhuttumtollah Street, where the line travelled of east towards the Square Mile. These formed a triangular junction with the Square Mile branch. The line then followed the outfall sewer canal, passing the workshops and shed at Entally. It then carried on passing the drainage pumping station at Tangra and followed the line of the high level sewer, past the Municipal Slaughter House and on to the Square Mile. There were six platforms on the system where refuse was transferred from carts to the railway system <ref name =WB65>“Industrial Railways and Locomotives of India and South Asia” compiled by Simon Darvill.
