WATCH: Stunning Bird’s Eye View Of Train Crossing World’s Highest Chenab Rail Bridge In J&K
This marked the first full train crossing over the iconic Chenab Bridge, the world's highest arch railway bridge, connecting Dugga and Bakkal stations across the Chenab river.
Indian Railways successfully conducted a trial run of an eight-coach MEMU train on the iconic Chenab Bridge in Jammu and Kashmir. This significant achievement sets the stage for the commencement of rail services from Reasi to Baramulla in Kashmir. The ministry confirmed that this trial run was the first complete train to traverse the Chenab Bridge, the world’s highest arch railway bridge, connecting Dugga and Bakkal stations across the Chenab river. “After an extensive inspection of the newly constructed Chenab Bridge by senior officers from Railway Board, Northern Railway and Konkan Railway, a trial run was conducted on a 46-km-long electrified line section between Sangaldan in Ramban district and Reasi at a speed of 40 kmph,” the Railway Ministry said in a statement.
