EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph, Kadugannawa Railway Station in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) comes into view from the vantage point of Dawson Tower, circa 1930. The British colonial influence is palpable in this image, as the railway system was a crucial element of the transportation network during the era of the Indian Empire. The station, located in the Kandy District, is surrounded by lush greenery, with trees stretching out in all directions. The railway tracks, snaking through the landscape, lead the eye towards the station, where several trains are parked, awaiting their next journey. The buildings at the station, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, stand as testament to the architectural style prevalent during the colonial period. A bridge, arcing gracefully over a river, connects the station to the surrounding countryside. The rural setting, with its verdant foliage and tranquil waterways, provides a stark contrast to the industrial machinery of the trains and the station. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s and the thirties, a time when the British Raj held sway over Ceylon. The railway system, with its intricate network of tracks and stations, played a vital role in connecting the diverse regions of the island, facilitating trade, commerce, and communication. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, a legacy of the colonial era that continues to shape the country's identity. The Kadugannawa Railway Station, with its rustic charm and colonial elegance, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of a bygone era.
