This is the railway track from Sakaleshpura (altitude 906 m MSL) to the Kukke Subramanya (altitude 120 m MSL) Road station. It is 52 km long, with around 57 tunnels and 109 bridges of length varying from few metres to 0.75 km and height varying from a few to 200 metres. The tunnels are absolute terrestrial abyss.
