Shahpur Patori station, station code SPP, is a railway station in the Sonpur railway division of East Central Railway. Shahpur Patori station is located in Shahpur Patori block in Samastipur district in the Indian state of Bihar. This railway station was established in 1901. Earlier, the location of this station was somewhere between Shahpur Undi and Tara Dhamaun villages. It was relocated to its present place in 1938. An interesting story is there about naming of the station. The dispute arose between the villagers of the two adjoining villages, each wanted to name the station after the name of their villages. Finally, it was settled that the 'Shahpur' word would be taken from the village name Shahpur Undi and 'Patori' name would be taken from the village name Bahadurpur Patori and thus the name 'Shahpur Patori' was given. On those days, the steam engines running on this route used to go at the bank of Baya river for filling water. A special railway track was there for this service. This railway track was passing between the buildings of present-day Bich Bajzar before ultimately reaching at the bank of the Baya river. A well (still existing) with the pulley system was there to uplift the water. The remains of this track could not be found now because it is buried under the earth. But a narrow lane of land passing from station to the bank of the Baya river still belongs to the Indian Railways. Shahpur Patori railway station has two platforms.

The River Rother flows for 35 miles (56 km) through the English counties of East Sussex and Kent. Its source is near Rotherfield in East Sussex, and its mouth is on Rye Bay, part of the English Channel. Prior to 1287, its mouth was further to the east at New Romney, but it changed its course after a great storm blocked its exit to the sea. It was known as the Limen until the sixteenth century. For the final 14 miles (23 km), the river bed is below the high tide level, and Scots Float sluice is used to control levels. It prevents salt water entering the river system at high tides, and retains water in the river during the summer months to ensure the health of the surrounding marsh habitat. Below the sluice, the river is tidal for 3.7 miles (6.0 km).
