Coorg Forest Railway Survey
The Coorg Forest Railway Survey was authorised in 1920 as a reconnaissance project being carried out by Major E P Anderson R.E. , an Engineer from State Railways [1].
The proposal was for a line from Laldevanhalli]] to Sidapur, with a branch from Hebbalenhole to Nagerhole, a total distance of about 50 miles [1] .
Coorg is a district in Karnataka, later became known as Kodagu, meaning ‘dense forest on a steep hill’ and is a densly forested hill station at the southern end of the Western Ghats in Karnataka [2].
The project was not taken up and no railway was constructed in this environmentally rich forested area.
