The Calcutta Port Commissioners’ Railway runs along the bank of the Hooghly from Chitpore in the north to Kidderpore Docks in the south, where there are extensive sidings. The CPC owns some 45 locomotives, all squat little 0-4-0 saddle tanks of a peculiar design with overlarge wheels.
Now known as Calcutta Port Trust Railway.
