Dacca to Calcutta ticket issued by East Bengal Railway. Could not find the date of issue. Was there an East Bengal Railway post partition? Did EBR run trains from Dacca to Calcutta post partition? This says India - Pakistan and not India - East Pakistan? Any significance? Very interesting ticket which raised a lot of questions. Hoping to hear from the IRFCA'ians on this ticket.

East Pakistan was a state of Pakistan up to 1971.
Guessing that JUJ is Jagannathganj Ghat and DSN is Darsana.

According to Hughes (Indian Locomotives Part 4), from Partition on 15 Aug 1947 all the lines in East Pakistan reverted to their former title of Eastern Bengal Railway.
In may 1961 the name was changed to Pakistan Eastern Railway

Excellent! Marvelous collection!! But for the sake of history Senthil, EBR used to stand for Eastern Bengal Railway. Anyway, wonderful collection!
