Kangra Valley Railway, Narrow gauge railway in Kangra Valley, India
The railway line stretches 164 kilometers from Pathankot in Punjab to Jogindernagar in Himachal Pradesh, crossing 950 bridges through mountainous landscapes.
Construction started in 1900 and finished in 1929, with parts temporarily dismantled during World War II for military operations until restoration in 1954.
