Lucky that the slip fall on to the rail tracks. I hope the tracks do not slip down the precipices with a train load of people. These tracks were built in the 1800s and hope the railway is checking on the safety.

Hks what's your point ? You mean to say that the British should have laid the railway tracks somewhere else or they shouldn't have laid it at all. via DM iPad app
