Shalimar rail yard
Shalimar rail yard served as a terminus for goods trains and hosted a rail yard since its inception in 1883. In recent years, it has been brought into the network of passenger train stations, developing into
Howrah Station. Apart from suburban trains, few long-distance trains have been introduced or moved over here (from Howrah station). It is under Kharagpur
railway division.
Shalimar still serves as an important transshipment point in container terminals. An additional container terminal is also proposed there.[1]
