EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1856, captures the breathtaking view of Khandalla and the great ravine from the long tunnel at Pollard Heights in India. The scene showcases the majestic beauty of the Indian Peninsula, with the winding railway tunnel stretching out into the distance, framed by lush greenery and the towering cliffs of Bhore and Tredwell. At the time, this photograph was a testament to the remarkable engineering feat of constructing a railway line through such challenging terrain. The railway, a vital mode of transportation during the British colonial era, was a game-changer for the region, connecting various parts of the country and facilitating the movement of goods and people. The train, a small speck in the distance, adds a sense of scale to the image, highlighting the vastness of the landscape. The Alice, a steam locomotive, was likely used for the transportation of passengers and freight, making the journey through the winding tunnels and steep inclines a thrilling experience. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the construction of the railway was a symbol of progress and modernization in India. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and laborers who worked tirelessly to build the railway, and the breathtaking beauty of the Indian landscape that continues to captivate us to this day.
