Highest railway line: India holds the record for the world's largest railway platform and the highest railway bridge. The Indian Railways is the fourth largest network in the world. India has everything from underwater trains to three-and-a-half-km-long freight trains. But have you ever wondered how high the world's highest railway line would be?
The world's highest railway line is in China. People travel on this railway line risking their lives. The name of this railway line is Qingzhang Railway or Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The railway line connecting Golmund to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, holds the record of being the world's highest railway line. In this 2,000 km long journey, the train overcomes many challenges and reaches its destination.
Passengers are forced to travel amidst strong winds and severe cold on the way. There is neither drinking water on this route nor are there trees along the railway track. Complaints of low oxygen pressure are often received on this route. In such a situation, oxygen has been arranged in the train so that the passengers do not face any problem during the journey.
For example, if you feel a lack of oxygen in the plane, you can take oxygen from the plant installed above the seat. Similarly, oxygen has been arranged for the passengers of Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Not only this, there is also a provision of doctors and medicines in the train for any emergency of the passengers.
This railway line is called a 'miracle' of engineering. It is said that this train travels on the 'roof of the world'. That is why it is called Sky Train and it climbs to a height of 5702 meters.
