EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1856, captures a moment in time during the construction of the Khandalla Railway along the rugged scarp of a ravine in India. The railway, a marvel of engineering in the mid-19th century, was being built to connect the Peninsula with the Deccan plateau, revolutionizing transportation in the region. In this image, we see Tunnels Nos. 25 and Delmont House at the 12 1/2 mile mark. The railway line, still under construction, winds its way along the edge of the ravine, with workers and laborers toiling away to complete the project. The Delmont House, a rest stop for the railway workers, stands proudly atop the hillside, offering a respite from the arduous labor. The railway's construction was a massive undertaking, requiring the expertise of renowned engineers such as John Tredwell, Henry Swainston, and Alice Clowes. The terrain was challenging, with steep inclines and sharp curves, making the construction process all the more daunting. Despite the challenges, the railway was a great success, significantly reducing travel time and making transportation more accessible to the people of India. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the determination and ingenuity of those who built the Khandalla Railway, a testament to human achievement during the Victorian era.
