Well, this is not the only rail cum road bridge in India. In fact, Kachhla Bridge over Ganga near Kasganj (KSJ)is also a similar railcum road bridge. This section is still MG under NER territory.

Good News! About 100 copy of this calendar will be available on Kolkata 2012 convention @Rs.230/-. Anybody can collect it at the convention center on payment at the First come First Serve Basis.

Others can collect it by sending a draft of Rs.400/- (250 calender cost + 150 Postal Charges) in the name of Secretary - Railway Board Payable at New Delhi to National Rail Museum , Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110021. Please write your full address in the back side of the draft.

A very Very proud moment for IRFCA. Proud to be an IRFCAian. Our efforts for getting recognized by Indian Railways are finally paying... Compared to what we were in 1997-1998, (the time I got associated with IRFCA), IRFCA has grown huge and has come a long way... Hats off to IRFCA !!

Dear Members
Thanks all for your encouraging comments. I had a long discussion with the Director NRM regarding the availability of the calendar and diary. Two things can be done. 1) You can send bank draft (I will post the amount and payee tomorrow) indicating your postal address in the back of the draft. 2) anybody who is coming from Delhi can pick up and distribute. I am trying to set up a stall at the Roraty Sadan auditorium during Kolkata Convension but that requires special permission from Railway Board and few other issues. Anyway I hope I am able to post it by tomorrow. As this distribution was not planned before printing I am afraid only 100-150 no of calendar can be arranged in either way. I will post it as fast as possible.

Yeah...
Hats off to IRFCA and we, the rail-fans.

Congrats all...

I agree with Karan. Anyone coming from Delhi to Kolkata, please take some copies there.
we are waiting for it.

Wonderful. Now, as Karan says, the search begins to find friends to carry these for us.

Great day for all us crazy rail fans. Finally, IRFCA has got some official recognition. Let us now convert this to official patronage.
