The Nadia district of WB used to have some narrow-gauge lines. The earliest of these was opened in 1898. It ran from Aistola Ghat on the bank of the Churni, some two miles from Ranaghat, to Krishnanagar via Shantipur. The line was constructed by Martin & Co and it was taken over by Eastern Bengal Railway in 1904. The second narrow-gauge line was from Krishnanagar to Nabadwip Ghat. It was originally owned by McLeod & Co. and transferred to Eastern Railway in 1966. It was a 28 km line. The Ranaghat-Shantipur section was converted to broad gauge earlier to allow EMU coaches from Sealdah to run up to Shantipur. The narrow gauge, therefore, became Shantipur-Krishnanagar-Nabadwip Ghat line. That too has been closed in 2010 for conversion to broad gauge.

This Railbus coach used to ply on Shantipur - Krishnanagar - Nabadwipdham route. Currently aquired by Rail Museum, Howrah
