THE FIRST TRAIN IN INDIA
By Kaushal Kishore Materials Engineer, Roorkee
The above engine model was made at Amritsar workshop of Northern Railway. It was unveiled infront of Roorkee railway station in July, 2005. This engine model is replica of the first rail engine used to transport construction materials for the construction of Ganges canal project brought from England and arrived in India in 1851. The engine was designed by David Joy and build by E. B. Wlson of Leeds.
BHIMGODA BARRAGE
By Kaushal Kishore Materials Engineer, Roorkee
I myself and Dr. G.C.Nayak remain engaged in consultency work long after our retirement. One day about 8 A.M Dr. Nayak phone me: Kaushal Engineers of irrigation department Haridwar are sitting at my house, they have a problem of granite blocks at BHIMGODA BARRAGE site. You have to go at this site at what time you will be ready to go, I said with in 30 minutes I will be ready to go.
Granite blocks are used at the fall of the BHIMGODA BARRAGE in Haridwar to control water flow and prevent erosion of the river bed. The blocks are used to dessipate the kinetic energy of the falling water, reducing its destructive power as it hits the downstream river bed.
THE CHENAB BRIDGE
The Chenab Bridge is the world’s highest railway arch bridge. Located in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir, India, it stands 359 meters (1,178 feet) above the riverbed. This 1.3-kilometer-long engineering marvel provides vital all-weather rail connectivity to the Kashmir Valley as part of the USBRL project.
