Preface
Bangladesh Railway Fans Forum is A Group for all like minded
people who like and travel with BR against all odds. It is an
unofficial group and in no way related to the official
activities/functions of BR.
Anybody can join the group, give suggestions and share
experiences amongst the group. This group is comprised of a
bunch of Bangladeshi railfans, photographers, journalists, railway
researchers and foreign peoples through out the world who seek
interests in our Railway.
This particular photo album has been made to recollect all basic
information & and sample photographs from our 6000 +
photographs of every single Railway Engines of Bangladesh
Railway. Providing information on our locomotives to the mass
people is also one of our most important agendas.
Due to the unavailability of enough snaps of Class 2200 and Class
2300 Locomotive we are unable to focus on them in this album
We would like to acknowledge the credit of those railway
personnel who had extended their helping hands in this regard.
Thanks.
