Cuttings 42 and 43, from Tunnel 19: A Glimpse into the Past of India's Peninsular Railway Construction This photograph, taken in 1856, offers a glimpse into the rich history of railway construction in India. The image depicts Cuttings 42 and 43, located within Tunnel 19 of the Peninsular Railway. The Peninsular Railway, also known as the Madras-Chennai Railway, was a significant engineering feat of the British colonial era, connecting the port city of Madras (now Chennai) with the inland city of Bangalore. The photograph captures the steep incline of the railway track as it winds its way up the hillside. The cutting, a section of the railway excavated into the hillside, is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and laborers who built the railway. The image also reveals the intricate network of support structures, including retaining walls and arches, that were essential to maintaining the stability of the railway as it traversed the rugged terrain. The photograph features several individuals, including Tredwell, Clowser, and Swainston, who were likely involved in the construction process. Their presence adds a human element to the image, reminding us of the countless men and women who labored to build the railway and connect India's diverse regions. The Peninsular Railway revolutionized transportation in India, making it possible to move goods and people more efficiently between the coast and the interior of the country. This photograph, taken over 165 years ago, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the remarkable engineering achievements of the colonial era.
