World's one and only Demodara Railway Loop | Part 3 of 5 Best Attractions in Ella, Sri Lanka
This is world's one and only Demodara Loop at Demodara Railway Station.
Because of the geographic situation of the nearby mountains, the railroad is designed to take a loop around the mountain & then go underneath the railway station (it's hard to explain, have a look on the video). Apparently, it's the only such construction in the world.

Railway Loop in Demodara Sri Lanka | Spiral Rail Line |exclusive location (Amazing)
This amazing Railway Loop was built by British railways in 1923 in Sri Lanka. The rail line passes under itself, going around the loop and emerging from a tunnel, which runs directly beneath the Demodara railway station. It is considered the only loop in the world with a railway station situated exactly over a tunnel at spiral loop.
this is a must watch for sri lankan and international travelers.
if you are going to see demodara nine arch this is situated very near by

Demodara Rail Loop Aerial view | දෙමෝදර රේල් ගැටය - Sri Lankan Railways ????????
Demodara is the third last station on the Main Line, and is 277.71 km (172.56 mi) away from Colombo. It is located 912.5 m (2,994 ft) above mean sea level and 8 km (5.0 mi) from Badulla, the capital city of Uva Province. All the trains that run on the Main Line, including the Podi Menike and Udarata Menike express trains stop at the station.
The station is most notable for its spiral rail line at this location, popularly known as the 'Demodara Loop'. The rail line passes under itself, going around the loop and emerging from a tunnel, which runs directly beneath the Demodara railway station. The rail loop is approximately 900 metres (3,000 ft) long and the tunnel is 320 m (1,050 ft) in length. It is considered the only loop in the world with a railway station situated exactly over a tunnel at spiral loop. During the construction of the rail extension to Badulla the engineers and surveyors found that elevation between the hills at Demodara was too much for the track to negotiate, with the maximum inclination allowed by the Ceylon Government Railway being one foot per 44 feet (1/44), an innovative track design had to be devised. Local folklore has it that one of the engineers, Devapura Jayasena Wimalasurendra, was inspired after observing a Kankany (supervisor) in a local tea estate undo his Talappawa (turban) and re-tie it around his head.

Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make you aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin it. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it.
I also have a very kind and humble request to make. Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in small groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once. Stick to the designated trails or hardback surfaces at all times.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring them back. Please don’t burn them in the wilderness. Even organic/bio-degradable waste is harmful to the nature and animals. Please stick to the simple rule of “if you pack it in, pack it out”.
* Use reusable water bottles, plates and cups. Even paper cups/plates are harmful and take years to decompose.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Respect wildlife and don’t disturb them in anyway. Also be considerate of other trekkers.
* Please collect and bring any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travelers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. If you must, only use firewood on the ground and don’t cut any trees for this.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or cut any trees/branches unnecessarily..
* Don’t use soap/ shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they contaminate them and kill wildlife.
* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.

The sipral loop - Demodara
The mechanism of the Demodara loop is considered to be an engineering marvel from the British colonial era. An arc of the loop can be visualized from a several spots closer to the Demodara Railway Station. However, the whole course of the loop and the mechanism is not discernible with these spots. It is recommended that you check the train schedule from the Ella Railway Station and reach the Demodara station 45mins prior to the scheduled train time. The experienced local trishaw drivers would take you to a higher elevation mount located some 8km away from where you can get a proper view of the whole mechanism, a range of mountains including little Adams Peak.

Demodara Loop at View Point - Best Aerial View, Demodara Station, SriLanka #DemodaraLoop #ViewPoint
Demodara tunnel and railway entrance referred to as the Demodara Loop, is where the rail line travels around a spiral loop beneath itself and appears out of a tunnel located precisely underneath the Demodare train station.
It is recommended that you check the train schedule from the Demodara Railway Station and reach the Demodara station 45mins prior to the scheduled train time. The experienced local trishaw drivers would take you to the View Point located some 8km away from where you can get a proper view of the whole mechanism, a range of mountains including little Adams Peak.
This engineering marvel is the only spiral loop in the world where a tunnel lies under a railway station. Folklore claim the idea was inspired by observing a supervisor in a tea estate unfasten and retie his turban.
Constructed during the colonial era, it was necessary for the transportation of tea produced in the estates of Uva region to Colombo. An innovative track needed to be designed, as engineers and surveyors discovered that with the maximum inclination allowed by the Ceylon Government Railway was one foot per 44 feet (1/44) at the time, the slopes at Demodara were impossible for the track to work out.
The mechanism of the Demodara loop is considered to be an engineering marvel from the British colonial era. An arc of the loop can be visualized from a several spots closer to the Demodara Railway Station. However, the whole course of the loop and the mechanism is not discernible with these spots.
Cheers!

Demodara loop
The British rulers designed and constructed Demodara railway track by circuling round a small hill and going through a tunnel below the station. The station is on the top of the hill just above the tunnel. According to legend, the shape of this railway lines has been derived from the cowl worm by the villagers.

Demodara Railway Station ( දෙමෝදර දුම් රිය නැවතුම්පොල ) Sri Lanka
Demodara railway station
Demodara railway station is the third last station on the Main Line, and is 277.71 km (172.56 mi) away from Colombo. It is located 912.5 m (2,994 ft) above mean sea level and 8 km (5.0 mi) from Badulla, the capital city of Uva Province. All the trains that run on the Main Line, including the Podi Menike and Udarata Menike express trains stop at the station.
The station is most notable for its spiral rail line at this location, popularly known as the 'Demodara Loop'. The rail line passes under itself, going around the loop and emerging from a tunnel, which runs directly beneath the Demodara railway station. The rail loop is approximately 900 metres (3,000 ft) long and the tunnel is 320 m (1,050 ft) in length. It is considered the only loop in the world with a railway station situated exactly over a tunnel at spiral loop. [1][2] During the construction of the rail extension to Badulla the engineers and surveyors found that elevation between the hills at Demodara was too much for the track to negotiate, with the maximum inclination allowed by the Ceylon Government Railway being one foot per 44 feet (1/44), an innovative track design had to be devised. Local folklore has it that one of the engineers, Devapura Jayasena Wimalasurendra, was inspired after observing a Kankany (supervisor) in a local tea estate undo his Talappawa (turban) and re-tie it around his head.
