2 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 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. Date of Publication: November 2010
