The branch [[Hajigahj]] was surveyed in 1899 an intermediate station located between [[Laksam]] and a project proposed to include [[Chandpur]] on the ferry and a length of 24 miles ABR ‘Chandpur Branch’ metre gauge(38km[[Rail_gauge_#Metre_Gauge|MG]]) of line. <ref>[https://archive.org/stream/RailwayProjects/Railway%20projects#page/n0/mode/2up "Histories of (Indian)Railway Projects ...up to June 1906"]; Retrieved 11 Dec 2015</ref>that had opened in 1895
Shatnal was the proposed land terminus where it would connect to a wagon Ferry to the terminus in [[Narayanganj]]. Here it would link to a proposed EBR line to [[Goalando]].  There is no corroborating information to show that this railway was constructedand no information has been found to determine why the project did not proceed. ==Further Information==See also '''[[Goalundo-Narayanganj Extension Railway Survey]] '''
