The Railway Station is situated on top of a tunnel. The beauty of the Railway Loop is its location and its unique structure. The railway track that goes through the tunnel ascends in a loop to the Demodara Railway Station and winds its way gracefully. But this feature cannot be seen properly while traveling in a train. It can be observed when walking along the railway track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">The concept of this loop was a sudden idea that occurred to the engineers when they were planning to construct the railway line at this location. As they were planning to construct the railway line at this location, initially they did not have an idea how to build the railway line as the location was unusual. According to folklore, while the engineers were discussing various methods to construct the railway line at Demodara, they observed a <em>Kangany<\/em> (a tea estate supervisor who was supervising the workers nearby) who untied his <em>talappa<\/em> (head gear) and re-tied it around his head. This act of the <em>Kangany<\/em> was the basis for the concept regarding the Railway Loop at Demodara. Spectacular location of the railway loop adds extra splendor to the unique marvel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">According to the mechanism of this railway loop, a train enters Demodara Railway Station on a higher elevation from one direction. When the train leaves the station, it loops around and returns in the same direction with the railway line looping and encircling an adjoining hill situated above and then the train passes through a tunnel underneath which it used to arrive at the Railway Station. The elevation change occurs during the loop. Although situated at different levels, the tunnel is almost perpendicular to the Railway Station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129962 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Demodara-Railway-Loop.png\" alt=\"Demodara Railway Loop\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">The design of the loop enabled engineers to take the railway track to a higher elevation and also keep to the gradient stipulated by the standards. The Railway Loop is around 92 meters long and the tunnel is around 320 meters in length.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">It is popular as the\u00a0\u201cDemodara Loop\u201d or \u201cDemodara Railway Loop\u201d and the railway station is situated right above a tunnel amidst verdant vistas, spectacular mountains, with breathtaking views. This is the only tunnel in Sri Lanka where the train tracks cross each other on different levels. The design of this Railway Loop is called \u201cLooping the loop\u201d by railway enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Location of the Railway Loop is an ideal place for rail enthusiasts who can see 360 degree view of the railway loop where the railway line crosses itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Demodara Railway Station and Railway Loop is a splendid engineering marvel that can be viewed better from a higher viewpoint. Locals living near Demodara Railway Station know places where this unique marvel can be seen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">There are several mountains near Demodara Railway Station to view this engineering marvel. It is better for rail enthusiasts to check the train time at least 45 minutes before the arrival of the train and climb a nearby mountain to see the spectacular sight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Location:<\/strong> Demodara, about seven kilometers from Ella<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Badulla &#8211; <\/strong>Situated in lower central hills, Badulla is the capital city of *Uva Province and Badulla District.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Demodara Railway Station<\/strong> &#8211; Situated about 278 kilometers away from Colombo and about 912 meters above mean sea level, Demodara Railway Station is the third last station on the *Main Line.
