Sealdah division runs the maximum EMU in the largest Suburban Railway network of India. The division is trying to adapt more passenger friendly features. They have successfully improved traffic controlling & is trying to increase 12 Car fleet. The division also has a wide range of EMUs manufactured by TREL, TWL, BESCO, BEML, ICF, JESSOP, BHEL, ICF-BOMBARDIER, etc...this diversity is not observed in Howrah division. Apart from the above, Sealdah division has many single units in various liveries which is quite rare to observe under a single CarShed....
