Rangpur Express (771)

About Rangpur Express (771)

Rangpur Express (Train No. 771) connects Dhaka with Rangpur, the divisional capital of northwestern Bangladesh and one of the country's most important administrative and agricultural centres. Rangpur division encompasses some of Bangladesh's most productive farmland — tobacco, potatoes, vegetables, and fine rice varieties are all grown extensively in this region. The train serves Shovan Chair and Shovan classes, providing affordable connectivity for the millions of people in the Rangpur division who maintain economic and family ties with Dhaka. The journey covers approximately 350 kilometres and passes through Sirajganj, Bogura, and several smaller northern towns. Rangpur city itself is rapidly developing as a commercial hub, with the Carmichael College (founded 1916), Begum Rokeya University, and the Tajhat Palace among its landmark institutions. The Rangpur Express is the dedicated named service for Rangpur city — while other trains like Nilsagar and Tista pass through Rangpur as intermediate stops, the Rangpur Express is the city's own flagship connection to the capital.

Train History (ইতিহাস)

Rangpur Express was established as the dedicated flagship service for Rangpur city, distinguishing it from through-services that pass Rangpur en route to more distant northern destinations. Rangpur's historical significance includes its role in the 1783 peasant uprising (the Rangpur Rebellion), one of the earliest anti-colonial uprisings in Bengal. The railway connection has played a vital role in Rangpur's modern development as a divisional headquarters and educational centre.
