Chittagong (Pahartali) Railway Workshop
Chittagong was the terminus of the Assam-Bengal Railway (ABR) and extensive workshops were located at Pahartali, a suberb of the town of Chittagong [1].

Notes concerning the above two records:-"
- 1. The author uses the spelling Chandrapur – this is not the spelling used in the Imperial Gazetteer which uses Chandpur. This is the spelling that Fibis have adopted.
- 2. The author cites the move of the worshop in 1935 to Dibrugarh. The implication of this that the workhops was relocated or merged with the workshop of the Dibru-Sadiya Railway(DSR). Other records indicate that the working of the DSR only took place in 1942 for the duration of the war
