[5] The "Nose of the Devil" Railway, Ecuador
The "Nose of the Devil" railway is built on the rock of the same name at
an altitude of 800 m (2,624 ft). Until recently, tourists were allowed to ride
on the roofs of wagons running here, but today it’s prohibited.
[6] Pamban Railway Bridge, India
Pamban Bridge connects the mainland part of India with the island of
the same name. In 1964, the bridge was destroyed by the strong winds of the
Palk Strait. This is why now, when wind speed exceeds 55 km/h, trains
receive a special signal warning of the possible danger.
