Tale of tunnels and bridges: Railway’s mammoth Himalayan project to link J&K with the rest of India
As the first electric locomotive rolled through a tunnel and onto the majestic Anji Khad Cable Bridge in the Reasi district of Jammu & Kashmir on Christmas Day, the Indian Railways took another leap in its mammoth task of connecting the Union Territory with the rest of the country with a dedicated broad gauge railway link. This iconic cable bridge—a first for the railways—and the great Chenab Bridge, the highest railway bridge in the world, are two engineering marvels among the 943 bridges built to cover the 272 km Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link project, an undertaking with an outlay of ₹37,000 crore. The world’s largest cable crane was built for carrying 20 tonnes of material,” said project in-charge deputy chief engineer R.R. Work on the 0.75 km Anji Khad cable bridge, to connect Katra with Reasi stations, began seven years ago.
