India has achieved a significant milestone in its railway infrastructure with the successful trial run of the first electric engine on the world’s highest railway bridge. The trial, conducted on the arch-shaped structure spanning the Chenab River in India’s Himalayan region, marks a pivotal moment in the country’s ambitious railway projects.
The bridge, standing at a towering height of 359 meters (1178 feet), connects sections of northern Jammu and Kashmir state and plays a crucial role in linking the region to the rest of India. Constructed over nearly three decades, the completion of this trial run heralds the final stages before the formal opening of the bridge, expected in the coming weeks.
This achievement underscores India’s commitment to modernizing its railway network with advanced technology and infrastructure, setting new benchmarks in engineering and transportation capabilities. The successful electric engine trial paves the way for enhanced connectivity, improved efficiency, and safer travel experiences for passengers traversing this awe-inspiring engineering marvel.
