Kasara ghat, Rail mountain pass in Maharashtra, India
The Kasara Ghat railway track spans 15 kilometers through the Western Ghats, climbing from 289 meters at Kasara to 585 meters at Igatpuri station.
The rail section opened for traffic in 1865, marking a significant development in connecting Mumbai to Nashik through the Western Ghats mountain range.
The railway route passes through traditional Maharashtrian villages where local residents maintain their customs while adapting to modern transportation developments.
Trains operating on this route now use Alternating Current traction instead of Direct Current, enabling them to carry larger loads without separating wagons.
The Ehegaon viaduct stretches 219 meters in length and rises 55 meters high, representing one of the notable engineering structures along this mountain pass.
