Date 1867
Description Broken viaduct on the Bhore Ghaut incline, India
Details

Broken viaduct on the Bhore Ghaut incline on the Great Indian Penisular Railway, drawn two days after its fall. No lives were lost in the disaster, as the driver of an approaching train witnessed the collapse and was able to stop the train before it reached the precipice. At the time of its construction, the Bhore Ghaut incline was the highest and longest railway incline in the world, rising 1832 feet over 16 miles.
