The territory of Tahirpur Upazila contains the historic village of Nabagram (in Badaghat Union), which served as the capital of the Laur Kingdom.[2] After the Conquest of Sylhet in 1303, some disciples of warrior-saint Shah Jalal migrated and settled in present-day Tahirpur where they preached Islam to the local people. Most notably, Shah Rafiuddin migrated here and is buried in Sarping on the border with Meghalaya on top of Laur Hill. In the 18th century, Tahirpur became a part of Brajendra Kishore Roy Chowdhury's zamindari based in Gouripur House in Mymensingh. For most of its history, the lower caste Hindus formed the majority of the area's population. During the British Raj, the local council resolved a false accusation against a Bengali Muslim by the name of Tahir Ali. Following this, Tahir Ali settled in this area, renaming it to Tahirpur. Tahirpur was established as a thana in 1924.[

In life whoever is alive, has his own way of living.
No matter he is a president of a country or a beggar in the street.
The principle of living is similar in everywhere.
Bangladesh is the store house of jute. It grows almost in all the districts of Bangladesh. It grows very well in Mymensingh. One third if the jute production only grows in Mymensingh. It also grows in Rajshahi, Bogra, Rangpur, Pabna, Comilla, Dhaka, Faridpur, Tangail, and other places of Bangladesh. Bangladesh holds the monopoly in the world jute trade.
Jute is very useful thing. It makes the best and cheapest packing materials which is called gunny bag. Besides this mats, ropes coarse cloths, shawls, tarpaulins are made of it. Its stalks are used as fuel and in making fencing. The green leaves are eaten as vegetables.Narayangonj is the chief of jute Business in Bangladesh. It is called the Dundy of Bangladesh. and Jute is the main cash crop of our country. Our economy depends solely on it.

On my latest trip i had planned to spend a week in Bangladesh but due to local elections and the threat of riots and violence i cut it short, too short as it turns out as the elections were generally peaceful with only 4 killings and a few riots. I did manage to get ashore for a photo shoot.
This is a MEI-15 built by Hyundai during 1999. There are 39 of these beefy meter gauge locos and they have quite a bit of character.
The train is operating a service from Mymensingh to Dhaka central and is seen south of Tongi Junction.
Note the duel gauge tracks.
It is totally normal to carriage surf in Bangladesh as it is to ride on the locomotive.
I will definitely be returning to this all diesel hauled country especially to track down the English Electric locos there.
