Joy Ride in Train

India’s first railway proposals were made in Madras in 1832. The Red Hill Railway, the country’s first train, ran from Red Hills to Chintadripet bridge in Madras in 1837. It was hauled by a rotary steam-engine locomotive manufactured by William Avery. Built by Arthur Cotton, the railway was primarily used to transport laterite stone for road-building work in Madras. In 1845, the Godavari Dam Construction Railway was built at Dowleswaram in Rajahmundry. Also built by Cotton, it supplied stone for the construction of a dam over the Godavari River.

It is a 40 minutes ride in train with visit to Barisadri town market and return to haveli. In all a half day programme.

Train ride is suspended for the time being due to the conversion of Meter gauge in Broad gauge.
