Western Railway's 156-year-old Thane Creek bridges being dismantled

Mumbai, Jan 1 A slice of Indian Railways' glorious heritage, in the form of two open bridges spanning two arms of the Thane Creek between Bhayander-Panju Isle and Panju Isle-Naigaon, are currently being dismantled at a frenetic pace, officials said here on Friday.

The two bridges, 156 years old, and totally 1,980 metres long, were constructed in 1864 - the same year as north India's first railway station in the form of Delhi Junction was built to connect the national capital with the then Calcutta.
