Konkan Railways Introduction
The journey is breathtaking. Travelling by train on a 30-metre high embankment, you suddenly shoot through a tunnel over 3-km long, emerge for a brief moment on terra firma, then rush on to a bridge over a deep gorge. In winter, a stream bursts below you; in summer, the red earth snakes endlessly on. Catch your breath for a moment; for suspended 50 odd metres above the ground, the train travels downwards into yet another tunnel, this one more than 6-km long. In about three minutes you are out again, crossing a bridge over 65m high, the height of a 15-storeyed building. The landscape of the Panval River below defies description.

Konkan Railways History
On May 21, 1995, a historic event took place in this sylvan land. A 124.5 metre long triangulated steel girder, weighing 680 tonnes,was launched for the new bridge across the Mandovi River. The launching took place in a record time of 18 hours. The gigantic girder was fabricated in the central railway workshop at Manmad, in the state of Goa, transported to the site in pieces and assembled on the southern bank of the river. It was then pulled onto a special pile jetty to where a floating crane, nicknamed Sahyadri, picked it up, to launch it 15 metres above the water level. The distance of 184 metres to the Sahyadri took 14 days to cover.
