347/348 Howrah-Farakka fast passenger tha. Farakka barrage ke khulne ke baad, yeh Howrah-New Jalpaiguri passenger ban gaya, jise 90 ke dashak mein Howrah-Malda Town parcel passenger ke roop mein chalaya jata tha. Train baad mein gayab ho gayi.
114/15 is passenger ki connecting train thi, jo Farakka ke Khejuria ghat side par chal rahi thi.
Kanchenjunga baad mein aaya. 1983 mein Howrah-NJP ke beech super-fast service ke roop mein introduce hua (numbered 57/58).
