"The rail route through the Borail Hill Range between Lumding and Badarpur in Assam is considered to be an engineering marvel with 37 tunnels and a series of stunning bridges and viaducts spanning deep gorges and ravines. During the construction of this rail line, which took 11 years (it was completed in 1903) many died of malaria, diarrhoea, other diseases, attacks by wild animals. There were also killer landslides".
