A view of the valley – the track curves along the mountain. The end with the towers is Rajmachi point. The long white structure below the towers is a new concrete retaining wall built along the railway line. The line parallel to the tracks is the Tata pipeline that leads water from Walvan dam to Khopoli. The older NH4 highway descends from Rajmachi point and is led onto the bridge located afar. The expressway is at a lower level and is routed under the second bridge on the older NH4 highway. The arches of the GIPR reversing station can be seen behind the second bridge. The hill in the middle used to have the catch siding while the reversing station was working. Note the absence of vegetation below the path of the EHT wires across the valley – deliberate preventive maintenance procedure or ill effect of the high voltage fields from these wires?

Or were the trees deliberately felled to accommodate the wires on the ground before being strung up and stretched across the valley?
