India's MOST DANGEROUS Rail BRIDGE PAMBAN Rameswaram.

  • The Pamban Sea Bridge is a railway bridge constructed on the Palk Strait which connects the Island town of Rameswaram to the rest of India. This is the first ever Sea Bridge constructed in India and is about 2 KM long opened to service on 24 February 1914. So far this has been one of the most dangerous and deadly Sea Bridges ever constructed due to its low raised concrete piers just a few feet above the sea water level. The piers almost go invisible when the water level raises during heavy monsoons.The Bridge is restricted to a speed of only 15 KPH due to the double leaf bascule section midway (Cantilever), which can be raised to let ships and barges pass through. An anemometer fixed on the 56th pier over the bridge records the velocity of the wind. Whenever the velocity of the wind exceeds 58 KPH, the signals are turned red preventing any train movement on the bridge.
    The bridge is located in the world's second most corrosive environment after Florida, making its maintenance a challenging job. The location is also a cyclone-prone high wind velocity zone.The bridge consist of 143 piers and the center span is a Scherzer rolling type lift span. Each half of the lifting span weighs approximately 415 tonnes.
    The Bridge was originally in Meter gauge alignment and was converted to Broad gauge in 2008.
    The adjacent road bridge was opened in 1988 until then Rail and Ferry services were the only means of transport to cross the Sea.
    This video covers a lot of Trains moving over the Bridge from various view points. Some spots were really risky. The stretch is non electrified between Trichy - Rameswaram and Madurai -Ramerswaram hence all trains are powered by ALCo's only, EMD's have never been tested on this Bridge.

    The ČKD ČME3 is a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by ČKD.
    (Czech Republic).
    The class was used primarily for shunting and mainline duties. With over 8,000 produced during a production run of 31 years, it is one of the most produced locomotives in the world. Units have been operated by Russia, Belarus, Ukraine (as class ЧМЭ3, transliteration ChME3) and other ex-Soviet bloc countries, in Czechoslovakia (as class T669.0, T669.1 and T669.5, later as ŽSR 770 and ČD 770 in Slovakia and the Czech Republic), on industrial railways in Poland (S200), in Albania (HSH T669.1), Iraq (DES 3101), Syria (LDE 1500) and in India (DEC 120)

    Starting at 3:30 to 3:40 your camera rolls and gently shakes as wheels on the train pass over certain parts of the bridge as it approaches the shore. That is ground shake from the train transmitting through the bridge section and through the ground. That is normal when you are on a railway bridge pier or right beside one. Those bridges are designed take that energy and shake it out. If it didn't that bridge would already be gone. We have modern steel and concrete bridges in Canada and they really do shake when a 600 ton locomotive passes over them. Your video captures this energy transfer very well.
