It includes a number of verified natural habitats and is rich in communities in species, in varieties and in endemics. Ironically, very little has been done to either study or protect these areas in the past. 0 0 1 F Also a large number of valu able wildlife resources are yet to be enumerated strictly in accordance with facts and figures. The long and big trees, murmuring rivers and rivulets, the green creepers, the roaming wild animals, the slops of the hills all bore an attraction for the travelers, tourists, nature lovers, scientists and the others of both home and abroad. "Tramway" occupies very important role in the world of inland transport system. But, the existence of this type of rare means of conveyance can be found in a very few noted cities of the world. In India its existence in the states like Maharashtra (Mumbai), West Bengal (Kolkata), but in Assam was also a fortune place, where a tramway existed in order to adorn the beauty of this region. This secret is known to a very little secret of people of India. The tramway of Kachugaon-Haltugaon occupied an importance place in the history of India's Assam State Forest department during pre-independence period, which added an extra exultation to the beauty of this region. The light of this tramway under erstwhile Goalpara West Division was a monumental setup, which draw sentiments the people and forest officials of Assam as well as India and the nature lovers and environmentalists of the world. Established in 1901 to 1902, that is, during the tenure of Mr. W. F. Perrie, Indian Forest Service (IFS), the tramway was running till 1989, to the outbreak of so called Bodoland Movement during which not only the functioning of the tramway disrupted, but the whole administration had an adverse impact. The situation was not conducive, the tramlines were stolen away by a section of dishonest businessmen, miscreants and anti-socials; engines sat idle due to lack of adequate fund for repair and renovation and subsequently the whole establishment came to a stand still and for this reason; 95% (per cent) of the materials are not visible to anybody. Some of them have been recovered by the local Indian Police Force (Assam State sector) and have kept under their custody (that is, in Gossaigaon Police Station) of Kokrajhar district. Particularly the Ripu Reserve Forest under this forest division in the foothills of the great Himalayas, falls in the Bhabar tract, suffers from acute shortage of water as the water table in this belt lies very low. Road communication was yet to improve for transport means at the beginning of the 20th century, where silvicultural works and exploitation were to be attended to these were hurdles in the minds of forest officials. So, to cope up with the problem of supplying water to the forest staffs and labourers working in the remote places of forest, the introduction of light tramway contemplated and came to reality in 1901-1902, during which initially two-and-half mileage was covered. By 1906, the mileage was increased up to nine-and-half miles and by 1911, the mileage went up to 19 and by 1924, the total length of the tramway was 16-kilometres with expansion up to Fakiragram Railway Station (FRS) under Kokrajhar district. To give shape to this system or project, Mr. Bronson purchased 05 broiler-engines during pre independence era. The light tramway on 02 feet gauge and 14 to 16 rails initially was launched in the tracts by a wood burning locomotive engine purchased from the country, Germany. Initially, line was setup in the forest areas from Kachugaon to Ride-VIII beat and later, on extended to various points inside the forest were works being carried out.
