One of the best and incredible railway bridges ever seen in person or via u tube or other electronic media. What an engineering feat. Trust, constant and frequent inspection must be diligently being done.
Marvellous piece of engineering in remote areas of South East Asia .Kudos to makers of this incredible bridge which is still in service of mankind. Superb capture , hats off to you.
wonderful to see this beautiful stretch of pristine nature in our idyllic neighbour country.... and the marvelous piece of engineering..... much love to Myanmar from Bharat (India).
Greetings from Kolkata, India. This is an excellent video. Really enjoyed it. However, Mr. Robinson and the viewers will be amazed to know that during British India, a fearless Bengali surveyor Pramadaranjan Roy visited this place and walked down the stretch even while the bridge was under construction and the wooden slippers were not nailed!

In 2005 I travelled from Mandalay to Lashio passing over this viaduct. I was lucky to board engine for better view. To be honest, it was most hair raising journey I have ever undertaken. Engine driver did not allow me to make video. So I made one from ground. I have posted on You Tube.
since i never will be able to things like that in live ( my age...) it is nice to see them on youtube. hat off to all the people who were sweating in the jungles to build such a railway. and hat off to the people who maintain it to this day!
Maintenance? No lighting, no handrails, every second refuge has no floor plates, the track approaching and leaving covered in undergrowth so thick it is classed as overgrowth! Even the sign at the end of the bridge says... "Congratulations, you made it!" Needs a bit more work Benedikt. Stay safe and happy.
@@GaryNumeroUno i also have seen the -negative - sides on the line. like you mentioned, no plating on more or less every second platform on the bridge.. who knows why? lack of money.? do we know? MOST PROBABLY THEY ARE WORKING ON A STRING BUDGET AND DO WHAT THEY CAN DO...
@@benediktmorak4409 yes good buddy... same story everywhere these days... no one has any money to look after anything. Hopefully the corrupt government and military may give a bit of money back to the people they are sworn to protect and get the tracks and bridge repaired to an acceptable standard. Somehow I doubt it. Enjoy your day. Cheers.
so you can visit north east(manipur, mizoram & more) of india, western ghats of india, karnataka of india, keral of india or kashmir of india. i'm thinking what made u to say "couldn't believe". is it only slums across whole of indian subcontinent? i wonder for how many years u r using utube
have traveled with that train twice and over the bridge, 2019 and 2020, but from a carriage.From Mandalay to Hsipaw. It was interesting to see it from the drivers view.

This Viaduct [A viaduct is a special type of bridge that consists of a series of arches, piers, or columns supporting a long elevated railway or road] is an example of a wonderful Civil Engineering Steel Construction. If anyone passing through that tunnel, or railway track, then definitely the train will hit that person and accidents may occur. Also, I can't see any railway Signals on this most dangerous journey. Also night journey possible in this way? This comment is from Kerala and thank you very much sir for making this type of thrilling video.
In my view the builders of this technological marvel deserve the Nobel Prize for Daring Challenges!!! By the way, it's nothing short of a miracle that this bridge survived the Second World War.....The Road to Mandalay reminds me of Rudyard Kipling. I wonder if the bridge was in his mind when he wrote about the white man's burden?
It would appear that the towers were built to accommodate a second track, and its girders, if deemed necessary. It appears this second track was either never installed, or removed?
Sorta reminds me of the Huey P Long bridge in Jefferson Parish Louisiana! Big high and long except the Huey P has a long turn at the end! Only one train as far as I know ever derailed on the bridge and it was from a wind storm that blew 3 train cars over the side! When they hit the ground it sounded like a really big bomb went off! Thank God none of the cars were carrying chemicals or explosive gases or oil!

Hi Tom, the bridge predates the WWII conflict by a long time, being built in 1899. Take a look at the video description it has info about its history
Awfully amazing, superb photography !
