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.

Constructed by the Bombay Baroda & Central India
