Description:

The 150‑year‑old iron bridge, known as Bridge No. 249, still operates today. Built in 1866 to connect Calcutta and Delhi to the rail network, it has become a landmark in Delhi’s Lohapul area. During a flood in Delhi, the bridge remained functional, and passengers still throw coins into the river from the train.
