When I was a kid (About 50 Years Back) Sonpur was "Officially" the longest platform in the world. I was told this was due to long goods trains transported animals for "The Fair". I have travelled through Sonpur sonics 1967, the platform looked long but not record breaking. Mind it that time train used to be small with steam engines.
