EDITORS COMMENTS
The Goteik Viaduct, located in Nawnghkio, western Shan State, Myanmar, stands as a testament to the engineering marvels of the late 19th century. Constructed between 1899 and 1900, this railway trestle was a groundbreaking achievement during its time, holding the title of the largest railway viaduct in the world. The Pennsylvania and Maryland Bridge Construction Company oversaw the project, which involved the construction of a massive framework of steel and concrete, spanning an impressive 659 meters in length and reaching a height of 105 meters at its highest point. The Goteik Viaduct was a crucial addition to the transportation infrastructure of British Burma, connecting Pyin Oo Lwin and Lashio, two major towns in the region. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the grandeur of the viaduct, with the train crossing over it, adding a sense of scale and movement to the scene. The Goteik Viaduct remains an iconic symbol of Burmese engineering heritage and a must-visit destination for travelers exploring the rich cultural and historical sites of Myanmar.
