Vidyasagar Setu is the longest cable–stayed bridge in India and one of the longest in Asia. It was the second bridge to be built across the Hooghly River; the first, the Howrah Bridge (also known as Rabindra Setu)
Howrah Bridge, Kolkata.
The 705m-long and 30m-wide bridge was built in 1943 over Hooghly River. It was renamed as Rabindra Setu in June 1965 after the first Indian Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. The bridge is commonly called Howrah Bridge.
The Howrah Bridge was commissioned in February 1943 at an estimated Rs25m and now carries a daily traffic of around 100,000 vehicles and over 150,000 pedestrians. It is the sixth longest cantilever bridge in the world.

About WAM 4 Locomotive : The WAM 4 is a very successful class of 4850 HP & 25 KV AC electric locomotives used in India. The first member of the class was indigenous designed and built by CLW in 1970. The class was produced until 1983. The locomotives in the class feature rheostatic braking, and MU capability. Being designed specially for mixed traffic, the WAM 4 class has rendered excellent service. Now, most of these are used exclusively for passenger traffic. The WAM 4 loco is still among the most heavily used electric locos of IR. A single WAM 4 can generally haul up to a 24 coach passenger rake. The WAM 4 has six traction motors, and originally they were wired to be available in different configurations at different power settings. At notches up to 14, all motors were in series (at notch 14 all resistors dropping out), up to notch 21 in series parallel combinations (three pairs of motors in series, the pairs themselves being in parallel), and further notches with all motors in parallel (at notch 30 all motors are in parallel with resistors dropping out). With increasing use of the WAM 4 locos for passenger traffic the all parallel configuration was deemed more desirable since it allowed higher speeds and higher acceleration. Most of the WAM 4 locos now have their MU capability disabled as RDSO disapproves of these locos running MU'ed over 100 km/h !
Till date Tatanagar (TATA) Electric Loco Shed of South Eastern Railway has maintained its all WAM 4s' in best condition ! This locomotive is fairly fit for high speed run !
