Nanjanagudu: Last year, On the outskirts towards Mysore, we could find an abandoned railway cum road bridge over Kapila river with few abandoned compartments. This bridge is 270 years old and could well be the world's oldest railway bridge existing and usable. 2 bogies of Heritage chariot were also stood there. It's history is like this as per the Railway Dept's board near the site. "It was built by Dalvoy Devraj in 1735 with brick, sand and stone adopting ancient Gothic style. It was strong and wide enough to carry road traffic as well as metre guage trains, which started running in 1889. This ancient bridge today stands as an engineering marvel, which bears testimony to the skills of those who built it. This bridge now over 270 years old and could very well be the oldest railway bridge in the world because the first railways was built only after 1825...

and there were no other known cases of ancient road bridges having been used to carry railway traffic".
