British engineers completed the main line, from Colombo to Badulla within 66 years. This main line is ranked as one of the great railway journeys among the other railways in the world.The most wonderful fact of this track is this train,”Udarata Menike” which begins its journey at 14 feet elevation in Colombo and it runs up to Pattipola in Nuwara Eliya District at a height of 6224 feet above sea level. The entire track consists 44 tunnels and about 80 stations. The train journey from Colombo to Badulla  takes 9 hours approximately.Between Hatton and Haputale, the people would sense the flash of mist and its embrace. Green terrain of tea cultivation makes the most charming scenes. Beyond the tea land you could witness panoramic scenes of different tones of blue strips of mountain range stretched away in to infinity.Horton Plains and other preserved forests make the origin of pure fountains.The waterfalls, wet and cold air, dropping water streams to rocky bottoms located hundreds of feet below from the top of waterfall.CreditsScript & Directed By: Athula Disanayaka, Mayuri WanguruTheme song written by: Athula Dissanayaka & Mayuri WanaguruTheme music by: Lalith WicramarathnaTheme song : Nelu Adhikari, Kapila Poogala Archchi & Lalth Wickramarathna.</blockquote>
