From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a cropped (by 40%) and reduced (by 30%) version of the image "Railway Bridge across the Jumna at Allahabad" taken by photogrpher Samuel Bourne (1834 -1912) in the 1860s. The image is being used in the Wikipedia article Rudyard Kipling. This bridge is situated over the Yamuna, just above the confluence with the Ganges at Allahabad (where Rudyard Kipling lived and worked from 1887 to 1889). It opened in 1865 and is a great feat of British engineering; it is over 1,006 metres (3,300 feet) long. This bridge enabled a direct line between the right bank of Hooghly at Calcutta and left bank of Yamuna at Delhi, until then the coaches were ferried by boat at Allahabad.
