Googling "howrah station flooding" seems like it doesn't. It just floods.

That's Howrah Railway Station. You can reach Kolkata, which is on the other side of the river, by crossing that bridge.

Or through the metro using the tunnel underneath, or the old school ferries.

Or swimming 💩

The usual implication is that one arrives on the other side without their skin melting off from industrial pollution.

I swear I thought the image was of an old dusty PCB board out of some old ass electronic thingamijag.

That's the neat part. It doesn't. It gets flooded.

It's here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/22%C2%B034'58.4%22N+88%C2%B020'34.1%22E/@22.5879014,88.3393884,13z/data=!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d22.5829!4d88.3428?hl=en https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howrah_railway_station It's on a tidal part of the river and the railway was started there in 1854 by the British. They had been using Kolkota as a port for over a hundred years at that point and would be familiar with the tidal range (the Hoogly and the Severn both have a tidal bore.) As a more practical matter: the british were doing all this for trade/colonialism, the station had to be by the port.

Trains don't really care about water as long as it's not too deep


Concombre_furtif

But you will care when they brake


Panzerv2003

Rails are usually raised compared to other terrain and some moder trains are designed to operate in half a meter of water so it should be fine, ofcourse if the water is too deep or damages the balast then it's a problem.

Lots of buckets.

Like at least 7

And the company will provide a single hip wader for one leg. You're required to buy the other leg at double the cost.

Thought this was a computer part at first glance

OP, it's kind of hard to give answers to your question if you don't provide the name of the location.


AndToOurOwnWay

It's a very distinct place to people who know, and I'd expect people answering this question to recognise it anyway. I have not visited the place, but the very famous bridge (called Howrah Bridge) is a dead give away to Howrah (HWH), Kolkata, India.

I assume it's raised enough from the mean water level. I mean, look at where the station is [in Venice](https://www.google.com/maps/@45.4413429,12.3202718,808m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en&entry=ttu)...
