Triumph of Engineering

IT TOOK 28 long years since construction work started for Srinagar to get connected by rail. The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Line (USBRL) in Jammu and Kashmir is set to boost economic prospects in the Valley by providing all-weather rail connectivity to the rest of the country round the year.

The ₹40,000-crore project has seen several delays since 1997. The route has some of the iconic bridges, including a first-of-its-kind cable-stayed bridge in the country, and will provide 13-hour DelhiSrinagar rail connectivity at an economical rate. Trial runs were conducted at a speed of 110 kmph on the section passing through the scenic Himalayas.
