<br>It was built entirely with blocks of stone and cement without any strengthening iron or concrete. There is an interesting village folktale about this construction. Since this viaduct construction begins World War I broke out and shipping movement restricted resulting in steel consignment was not coming on time or seized by the German Navy. The project came standstill, until local voluntarily came with an idea to build the viaduct with solid stone, bricks and cement only. Finally, the bridge was commissioned in 1921.</p><p><br></p><p><b>You also like to read:</b></p><p>Best train journeys in the world <a href="https://www.fantasiatours.com/blogs/view-blog/b-e-s-t-t-r-a-i-n-j-o-u-r-n-e-y-s-i-n-t-h-e-w-o-r-l-d" target="_blank">https://www.fantasiatours.com/blogs/view-blog/b-e-s-t-t-r-a-i-n-j-o-u-r-n-e-y-s-i-n-t-h-e-w-o-r-l-d</a></p><p><br></p><p> </p></ul> |

Demodara railway loop |
Demodara railway loop |
<ul><p>Demodara railway loop is a spiral rail line located between Demodara and Ella stations.<br>
<br>During the Uva railway line construction in 1918, railway experts have found that the elevation difference between the adjoining hills at Demodara was too great for the new railway track to negotiate. Then the railway expert came with the idea of “Looping the Loop” to overcome this natural barrier. According to that, the rail line is going around the loop passes under itself, and emerging from a tunnel. The Demodara station located directly above the loop.<br>
<br>There is an interesting story behind this. When the railway experts were in a challenge to find a way to proceed with the line beyond Demodara, one local farmer proposed that the line between two greater elevated hills should be in a manner of his turban was tied. The experts have accepted this proposal and the “Looping the Loop” design was evolved.<br>
<br>Somehow Demodara railway loop is a masterpiece of railway engineering in Sri Lanka.</p><p><br></p><p><b>You also like to read:</b></p><p>Best train journeys in the world <a href="https://www.fantasiatours.com/blogs/view-blog/b-e-s-t-t-r-a-i-n-j-o-u-r-n-e-y-s-i-n-t-h-e-w-o-r-l-d" target="_blank">https://www.fantasiatours.com/blogs/view-blog/b-e-s-t-t-r-a-i-n-j-o-u-r-n-e-y-s-i-n-t-h-e-w-o-r-l-d</a></p><p> </p></ul> |
