**Kalka Mail Turned 150 Years Old. First Train of Indian Railways **
----
Today the Most Legendary Train Kalka Mail Turned 150 Years Old ! And We Eastern Railway's Admirers left no stones unturned in its celebrations. We Requested Eastern Railways to Hold a Function for it and Out Of no where Eastern Railway Helped us to have such a huge program.

DRM Howrah Ensured us full access to ELS and Liluah Coach Depot for Decorations and we did the same. AEM/Liluah Coaching Depot supported us a lot and he was backbone of the whole thing and he did managed to have such awesome designing over the rake and the coaches were all 2015-14 Made and were shining and all kinds of Balloons,Garlands,LED Lights were Provided,in Short I have not seen such effort by any organisation to make sure that 5-6 Guys who are not at all Related to Railways are Happy.
-----
For our Comfort WAP 7 30328 was alloted 24 Hrs before today's journey and every possible help was ensured by Railways.WAP 7 30328 From Howrah was Decorated and Maked Up like a Bride by Eastern Railway's Designated Fans Me, Chandril Bhowmick Ghulam Irshad Khan Subhajit Sadhukhan Sourav Dutta Koustab Sammadar Pritam Das Biswajit Lucius Kumar Arajit Gharai Ankan Sarkar Gourab Bhattacharjee Samannay Chatterjee Sourav Das !! It Was on occasion of 12311 Kalka Mail's 150th Anniversary.We were Duly Felicitated by ER Gm Mr RK Gupta and DRM Howarh Mr Badri Narayan during the main event today.
----
During the Function on PF 9 GM ER Mr RK Gupta Felicitated us and thanked us for our support and interest and he also tweeted about it. Every Official Like DRM,DCM,Asked us " Are You Guys Happy ?" and We were like on the 7th sky because of the fact that just for the sake of us ER did managed to hold an awesome function which was not at all expected by us.
----
Checkout the Picture for tremendous effort by Eastern Railways Cleaning staff. They even literally picked of little sticky materials from the floor with knifes and Pantry Staffs weer looking like they were of some 5 Star Hotel and ER also arranged a Graphic Designed Cake to celebrate it with us .
----
This Function was aired on ABP Ananda,24 Ghanta,RPlus,DD News TV News Channels. In the Pictures there are ER's DRM/GM Talking to Reporters and Posing with Loco decorated by us and Flagging off the train !! :)
----
This is the best possible occurrence that an Rail Fan can feel in his whole life ! I will Cherish it for a long log time. :)

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
