Partially perched on bridge, Reasi station remains a marvel
The Statesman Delhi|January 09, 2025
Even as the Chenab Bridge has stolen the show, other aspects of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link Project, including the Reasi railway station, are equal engineering wonders of the Indian Railways.
NISHAT NIZAMI

A part of the Reasi railway station, which is all set to embrace operations this month, is partially perched on a bridge, making it an engineering feat of the national carrier.

As the Kashmir Valley is all set to have all-season rail link for the first time after independence, Reasi railway station is to play a crucial role in this connectivity.

Of the entire route of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link Project spanning over a distance of 272 km, the sections up to Sangaldan on the Srinagar side and that till Katra on the Udhampur side are operational.

However, a distance of around 63 km, including a 46 km stretch between Sangaldan and Reasi via Chenab Bridge on Srinagar and Baramulla side and a 17 km network between Reasi and Katra via Anji Khad bridge on Udhampur side are yet to be commissioned.
