Train passing through 16 tunnels of Braganza ghats via Dudhsagar between Kullem to Castlerock stations. Video Tirupati / Hyderabad train from Vasco da Gama upto Londa. Kullem to Dudhsagar 5 tunnels and upto castlerock 11, tunnel no. 2 being the longest of the 16 around 410 metres.
Tunnels that were constructed by then Portuguese India about 131 years ago (1888). The route soon will have double lines which means widening of tunnels, new bridges/viaducts etc. Doubling lines work already started upto Madgaon and if all go well, work likely be completed in next 2 years. The route may also have to be shut down for all trains at least for 6 months when tunneling work etc...
more... goes on.
Good to see works in the Ghat section. Please tag it with Dudhsagar railway station.
