n 1870, Saidpur railway workshop was established as a meter-gauge steam locomotive repair shed on a 110-acre land. Later, with the installation of plants and machines to repair meter-gauge and broad-gauge coaches and wagons, the workshop became fully equipped in 1953 at 800 acres of land. There are 25 different shops where repair work is done and around 1,200 items of spare parts and tools for carriage and wagon are manufactured.[3][4]
Besides repairing and maintaining, manufacturing of coaches and wagons was also made in the workshop. But in 1993, the then government stopped the initiative of manufacturing.[4] The workshop is currently suffering from manpower shortage. As of 2020, only 918 staffers, including officers, instead of the 2,825 sanctioned manpower are working, so there is a 68% manpower shortage.[3][5]
In 2016, plans for installing a new carriage shop to manufacture coaches and wagons in the area of 20 acres inside the workshop were made by Bangladesh Railway.[4] There are also plans to modernise the workshop and appointing new manpower.[6]
