A8 Shikha Sharma Lives in Chandigarh, IndiaTue Barog Railway Station A small, unreal,picturesque and literally jostle free, Barog railway station is situated inSolan district on Kalka Shimla railway track.

Situated at aheight of 4500 ft above sea level in Himalayan foothills, the station has a woodwork inbrilliant blue colour with a backdrop of green forest. The mild chillin the air is cherry on the cake. Barog is a smallhill station which has derived its name from Barog railway station. In the British times, trainswould stop for an hour here. The Sahibs and Memsahibs used to relax and havetheir meals. The dining hall has a distinct viewing gallery whereyou could feel the wind gushing through tall coniferous trees. Kalka Shimla railway line has 102 tunnels and thisstation comes immediately after the longest tunnel onthe route ( Tunnel no 33). The engine's cheerful horn becomes a darkening roarin this 1.18 km long tunnel. Let me give you aslice of history about the name of this station. Colonel Barog was a railway engineer who wasassigned the construction of tunnel no 33. He made precisecalculations and supervised the drillers who started cutting the mountain fromboth sides. The drillers keep drilling but somehow couldn't meet in the middle.Soon, Col Barog realised that his calculations had gone awry. His crew was alsofrustrated. TheBritish government fined him Rs 1 for wasting government resources.This depressed Col Barog even more as his reputation was dented. One day, unable to bear this, he ended his lifewith his pistol in the same under constructed tunnel. Theunfinished tunnel is still 1km away from the present day tunnel. Locals says that the tunnel ishaunted as they could still hear whispers of the Englishman in the dark tunnel. The tunnel work wasresumed by Chief Engineer H S Herrington who completed the tunnel in 1903. Hiscalculations were also not correct and he had to seek the help of a local saint fromChail, Baba Bhalku. His name has a got a mention in Shimla Museum railwayrecords. Despite hisfailure, the government and railways honoured Col Barog as he was a good manand named the railway station and this small place after him. If you get a chanceto visit Shimla, do travel in train and have a quiet time here. I am sure youwon't regret.
