The reversing station on the Bhore Ghaut incline
The reversing station on the Bhore Ghaut incline. At the time of its construction, the Bhore Ghaut incline was the highest and longest railway incline in the world, rising 1832 feet over 16 miles. There is one point along the line where, to gain height, the railway sweeps along the face of the mountain; and, as there is no space to turn round, a reversing station was formed, where a new engine would be attached, so that which was the end of the train becomes the head, and it then ascends a similar incline, like one shelf above another

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the incredible engineering feat of the reversing station on the Bhore Ghaut incline. Built in 1869, this railway incline was once the highest and longest in the world, rising an impressive 1832 feet over a span of 16 miles. The image showcases a pivotal point along the line where, due to limited space for turning around, a unique reversing station was constructed.
At this station, a new engine would be attached to allow the train to change direction and ascend another incline. This innovative design allowed for seamless transitions as trains made their way up the steep mountain terrain. The intricate details of this historical site are brought to life through this stunning photograph.
The Bhore Ghaut incline is not only a testament to human ingenuity but also serves as a reminder of our ability to overcome challenges in order to connect communities and facilitate transportation. As you gaze upon this print, you can almost feel the energy and determination that went into creating such an impressive railway system. It truly is a snapshot of history frozen in time.
