The fun of waiting for long in two railway-crossings at the entrance of IIT Kharagpur campus is over ... with it a credible excuse of being late by 30-45 minutes ... and the thrill of sudden acceleration to scrape past the descending barriers :-) All social gatherings where IITKGP has a representation are to miss the topic if we ever will have this flyover. If we miss all those, this is what we got!Kharagpur will never be same again! 'Puri Gate' will be part of our folklore!

Nice photography. Thank you.
Apart from saving time and having to give up on an excuse for being late; it increases safety. I remember when I was in class 8, there was a major accident on Puri gate between a train and a truck in a hurry...(normal practice of bypass as Puri gate used to be kept closed for hours)...
It is very difficult to forget `Puri Gate` from our life. We were waiting for the train, calculating in our mind whether it is goods or passenger.Some busy persons, somehow manage the rail bar. At last after some time, we can view the moving engine. One after another, the compartments are passing,all we are silent at this moment, eagerly looking to the passengers, it was a nostalgic feeling.
