A 3- day walk was recently organized by a group of officers and employees of Indian Railways to create awareness among the public about the significance of Kalka-Shimla railway line in Himachal Pradesh, considered as UNESCO world heritage site.
“The main objective of this heritage walk is to create awareness in the public, the travelling passengers and our own staff and officers about the heritage status railway line and to know about the safety aspects, various problems in maintenance of this railway line so that we can improve the bridges, tunnels and other things of this important heritage railway line," said Nar Singh, a senior railway officer.
The train running along the Kalka-Shimla railway track passes through 107 tunnels and connects a number of hill resorts including Dharampore, Taksal, Gamma and Solan.
