Pamban Bridge - Tamil Nadu India



View Larger Map

Considered one of the most dangerous pieces of railroading in the world, the Pamban Bridge in southwestern India has a speed limit of 15 km/h,  so the fact that a satellite caught a train on the bridge is less amazing. The Youtube video below taken onboard a crossing train is over 10 minutes long. The bridge is equipped with an anemometer and approach signals go red when the wind exceeds 55 km/h.
