About the book
Bridges are inseparable part of Indian Railways. They span raging rivers and deep gorges. Among the innumerable railway bridges, many of them are iconic in one or the other aspect. The book contains historical and technical information about 34 iconic bridges of Indian Railways. These selected bridges are located all over India. The book is of equal interest to the engineers, designers, railwaymen and tourists as they will find in it various details from the anecdotes connected with these bridges to the information about their substructure and superstructure. The photographs taken by the author make the reading much more interesting. This is perhaps for the first time that such information is being made available which is expected to encourage the curiosity of the reader about the heritage and greatness of Indian Railways.
