Three abandoned places in Sri Lanka
Three abandoned places in Sri Lanka
In this article I intend to explore the currently abandoned places in Sri Lanka. This article will be very interesting for those who like the mystery of abandoned old places. Also, if you are visiting Sri Lanka, do not forget to visit these places.
1. Udupussellawa Railway.
This road, which was started in 1900, was completely closed in 1948. Also, this is a narrow railroad. That is, the width of the road is 2 feet and 6 inches. This is the most important point. Pattipola (6204) is the highest railway station currently in use in Sri Lanka. However, it is reported that the Ragala railway station on the Udupussellawa railway line is even higher (6316). There were 11 railway stations on this route and today there are parts of the dilapidated railway line and parts of those railway stations.
2. Trincomalee Oil Storage Tank Complex.
There are 99 large oil storage tanks here. Part of it is still in operation today and a number of tanks have been abandoned. Some tank parts were also reported to have been cut into iron by thieves. The abandoned giant weed complex has a mysterious appearance.
3. Ratnapura Railway.
This railway line was from Colombo to Ratnapura. This railway line has also been closed today due to the difficulty of maintenance and the fact that it is easier to transport goods by lorries than by train. Construction also began in 1900. This road is 140 km long. The road is said to have been closed after 1976. Due to the scarcity of resources such as coal during the Second World War and the popularity of buses by this time, this railway line has been closed. It consists of 11 main railway stations. It is said that there were many other sub stations. The ruins of the railway line and the railway stations can still be seen in those areas.
There are other such places in Sri Lanka and I hope to provide details in future articles. Thank you.
