Governor Acharya Devvrat convened meeting of top officers to prepare outline for setting up nurseries on Shimla-Kalka heritage rail track
Preparing to make Shimla Kalka heritage track more beautiful and adding more beauty route, it’s being planned to plant flowers and grow nurseries on either side of the heritage rail track.
Built in 1898, to connect Shimla with the rest of the Indian rail system, the Kalka–Shimla railway is narrow-gauge railway in North India which traverses a mostly-mountainous route from Kalka to Shimla. It is known for dramatic views of the hills and surrounding villages. During its construction, 107 tunnels and 864 bridges were built along the route. The project’s chief engineer was H. S. Harington. On 8 July 2008, UNESCO added the Kalka–Shimla railway to the mountain railways of India World Heritage Site.
The railway has 864 bridges and a ruling gradient of 1 in 33, or three percent. It has 919 curves, and the sharpest is 48 degrees (a radius of 122.93 feet or 37.47 m). Climbing from 656 meters (2,152 ft), the line ends at an elevation of 2,076 meters (6,811 ft) in Shimla—a difference in height of 1,420 meters (4,660 ft). It originally used 42 lb/yd (20.8 kg/m) rail, which was later replaced with 60 lb/yd (29.8 kg/m) rail.One hundred seven tunnels were originally built, and 102 remain in use.
