Lower Entrance to Tunnel No. 25, 1856: A Glimpse into the Past of Indian Railways' Engineering Marvel This evocative photograph captures the lower entrance to Tunnel No. 25, a significant historical landmark located at the 12-mile mark on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (GIPR) line. Dated back to 1856, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of railway transportation in India. The tunnel, built under the supervision of renowned engineers like John Tredwell, Henry Swainston, and William Clowes, was a remarkable engineering feat of its time. The construction of the tunnel presented numerous challenges due to the rugged terrain and monsoon rains, but the determination and expertise of the engineers led to its successful completion. The image showcases the intricate masonry work and the meticulous attention to detail that went into constructing the tunnel entrance. The arched entrance, with its intricate carvings and the rail tracks leading into the darkness, exudes an aura of mystery and adventure. The arrival of the railway in India marked a turning point in the transportation sector, revolutionizing the way goods and people were moved across long distances. The railway system facilitated the movement of goods from the hinterlands to the ports, thereby boosting trade and commerce. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the engineers who built the railway system in India, paving the way for modern transportation infrastructure. The Lower Entrance to Tunnel No. 25 stands as a reminder of the rich railway heritage of India and the remarkable engineering achievements of the past.
