Crossing the Mighty Brahmaputra on the Naranarayan Setu - 13247 Capital Exp. (March 1, 2013)

- A major magic moment of the journey! Fifteen minutes after departing from Goalpara Town, we went over the Brahmaputra river on the Naranarayan Setu bridge. The train was on the bridge for a good three minutes. I was rather surprised to see islands in the middle of the river. Signs of a drought, perhaps?
FYI, the 2.28 km long bridge is the third one across the Brahmaputra and was inaugurated on April 15, 1998.

I could feel the gravity of this great river, resembles The Indus, maybe bcz they are cousins of Himalayas. Lots of love from Lahore 🇵🇰
Thanks!
Jai Shri Brahmaputra river 🙏🏾🙏🏾
its 1.3 times bigger than Ganges in water volume and 3 times bigger than Indus in terms of water volume
Yes!
It resembles the Indus!!
Thanks for this amazing video. Brings back so many memories.
Thanks!
Awesome video Mani sir..
i would like to add few things...Bramhaputra is one of the longest river in India and having originated in Himalayas she flows nearly thousand kilometers before it reaches the plains of Assam.. River is consider to be in young stage when it flows through the mountain valleys and hence the flow is very rapid..This Rapid flow leads to massive erosion of rocks. As soon as the river attains her mature stage, the river bed gets widened and speed is decreases and therefore being unable to carry the eroded material further, river deposits it in the bed itself ...this eroded material (silt) later form the small islands .....That is what we call Khadar new alluvial or bhabhar old alluvial ..... :)
Thanks a lot for that valuable information. That river has always fascinated me and it gave me goosebumps to cross it by train :-)
Jayesh Minde you must not use she . Bhramaputra is male
Not she the river is he
Thanks Jetash Minde for such nice information. GOD bless you brother and keep you happy.
The only male river in India
Brahma putra (Son of Lord brahma)
It's width is compatible to ocean that's why it's addressed as he and not she.
Dangerous but very thrilling hope one day
This River looks Greater than Indus.
I have traveled many times to India from Lahore.
Really Enjoy Train Journey.
INDIAN Railway mn jo maza hy wo Bullet train mn bhi nhe.
It is.
I've crossed this mighty river nearly 20 times during my childhood days while travelling from northeast to south....It has been over 10 years since then...Wonderful video !! feeling nostalgic about those times ...
Glad you enjoyed it ... it is such an awesome river. Was exciting to cross it!
Yes sir..Awesome video as well..!
Thanks :-)
@@ManiVijay I e
This looks spectacular! And Sir as you mentioned during the video - the sunshine on water, that was an ice on the cake! Beautiful!
three years ago this was the first video I watched and fascinated me to railfanning zone. I did not see the name of the uploader that time but again I happened to view your videos of Haflong to Dharmanagar and to Agartala in metre gauge again I used to see the north east India railway videos happeningly all uploaded exceedingly well by great grand man Mani sir. Again you have uploaded the videos after MG conversion to BG conversion of the northeastern railway zone very nicely . Sir you are true patriot of indian railways
Likewise I want to see attain crossing Sind in , Pakistan
Thank you very much for sharing such beautiful videa of Barahma Putra river. GOD bless you brother. I hope you will share more videos
Very glad you enjoyed it. What a river!
Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thanks!
there is also another massive river bridge in bangladesh called bangabandhu bridge search for it, its a masssive bridge
@@Saitama-ur3lq its stunning 😳😳
In India the only named river in male name i.e. brahma Putra i.e. son of great creator Brahma lord and 10 th longest river in the world. It also performs abhishekam of north easter state assam and bangla desh.
Thanks for that info. You must be aware of the new Bogibeel bridge that is the longest railway bridge over water in India.
In bangladesh its name is jamuna and in tsang po in china
Brahmaputra is the only river ocean of india,gigantic,
Thanks! I am excited that you are excited about our excitement :-) :-)
thank-you for shooting it in 60fps!
Glad you enjoyed :-)
Great Video of an Amazing river... nicely done..kudos...A mere sight of this river is awe inspiring and leave u speechless
+kaushal yadav Very true...it is such a mighty river!!
awesome video
scary stuff...the river is so huge...nice one sir!!
Ya its 2900 km..
@@prayashpatgiri7254 actually it is much longer than 2900km.
Sir why these places getting almost rains for all over the year, again after spring in Apr even before the advent of summer are bone dry and very sad to see sir. we must pray for rains as rain is the only blood of earth. This is assam and think our state like Andhra and Tamilnadu, both the states got no rain from 2012 to 2015 Nov followed by severe rain flood in Chennai and Andhra in Nov 2015 and again terrible rains in 2016. Now again rain plays truant as Kerala received worst rain in 2018 season and in 2017 in Maharashtra. But people must conserve water sir. Senior people like you must pray always for rains in entire country. I have watched almost all your videos and noted the environment also. When you showcased the train crossing Farakka barrage I felt tears rolling in eyes for Ganga river kindness and again your video on crossing Brahmaputra also brought me tears. You have also commented in the brahmaputra video that unusual sanding in the river during monsoon period wherein you had catched the river. You are also a naturologist when all your north eastern meter gauge videos shown all for nature site and not as a train vlog. thanks sir. Bless us sir. namaskar sir.
SHANDAR VIDEO BANAYAA
WHAT A BIG RIVER....WOW
👌👌👌👌👌 👍👍👍👍👍
Dhanyavaad! Stay safe.
The bridge was completed only a few years(might be 10 yrs !)ago.Till then NH37 used to connect the Assam Valley with upto Pancharatna(the immediate next station to Goalpara)..As a result,if you visit the A.T.Road in Dibrugarh & several other places in Assam,you can see KM stone marking the distance from Pancharatna.Even I was wondering what is so special abt PNVT,that their presence is felt in DBRG also? I think their used to be ferry transportation from PNVT to Jogighopa side to connect NH-link
Thanks!!
Wow. very impresive and brilliant video
😱 wow amazing
Kaha ka sin hae yaar
Yeh Jogighopa ke paas hai.
@@ManiVijay bhaijaan mera kahane ka matlab hae ki kis Rajy me hae bangal,keral,nepal,
Kaha
Assam me @@m.smalik8bp259
Wow so big is Brahmaputra
Indeed. Imagine how huge it will be during monsoon.
Actually this bridge is situated in a narrow portion of the river. In some places the Brahmaputra is 20 k.m wide😌
Namami Brahmaputra
Glad you enjoyed it! May I know where you are from?
Itna bada bridge kaise maintain karte hai track
Thanks for the valuable information!
Thank you very much for this video
You are welcome
It is the widest river of India 😍
Truly an amazing river.
thrilling!!incredible.also looking for a video where brahmaputra is widest(10-16km said by some people)
+Akshay Maheshwari Once the Bogibeel bridge is commissioned over Brahmaputra (near Dibrugarh) it will become the longest bridge over water in India - nearly 5 km. 10 km. is incorrect, sorry!
+Mani Vijay Brahmaputra is indeed 10 km at some point. One bridge is under construction in Sadiya (Upper Assam) over Brahmaputra. The length of the bridge is 9.3 km. U can google it out
It's almost 20 km wide in Dhubri(Assam) when it enters Bangladesh. Now a bridge will be constructed there which will be the longest bridge over a river in India.
Is this is Goalpara
I watched this video alone for almost 20 times in last 3 years
Oh, wow. You must have really liked it, thanks!
Me too. And speechless every time. What a river.
Brahmaputra is the only male(as per the textures) river of india
Aditya Chouraria..... Damodar also
Son river also MALE
Superb video
Nilesh C Tatkari Thanks.
River dept kaisa patha karna mean jump karna no guidance
Thank u sir for great video sharing..Wonderful capture the mighty n greatest Divine River Brahmaputra....Please tell the length of this bridge.. I think on top of this rail bridge is road bridge..
It is around 2.3 km long. Yes, there is road on top of the rail bridge.
Very nice video bhai ji aisi video banaya Karo mujhe bahut pasnad hai very nice bhai very nice
Dhanyavaad!
Outstanding really enjoying
Absolutely Amazing...:)
Thanks a lot :-)
nice shot :)
Feeling great after watching mighty river
It is truly an amazing river.
What's the unfinished stone curve for at 3:34??
I think it was ballast for a new line being laid parallel to the river. Must have been finished by now.
Excellent Mani.
Thanks!
Bridge height ?
I assume the bridge is capable of carrying 2 railway lines by seeing the amount of space on both sides of the single track while the train was passing through the bridge, right?
Good observation .. it does look as it can hold two tracks.
Thanks!
I Love India/Indian Nature...I'm Bangladeshi.
Thanks!
@@ManiVijay welcome
She is beautiful!!👍
babita fageria No doubt about that!
Great shoot
Brahmaputra is the only male river in the world.

Mani Vijay state??
PR Techs assam
Assam
How come I can't comment seeing such a mighty river. It deserves that name "Son of Brahma". Can't believe when he over flows.
It is truly a mighty river, no doubt!!!
@@ManiVijay likewise Sind
Very fantastic video the huge shot of great brahamputra river great
+ashok kumar gupta Glad you liked it :-)
It looks like soraighat bridge.....why it is named naranarayan setu ??
This is not the Saraighat bridge ... that is crossed while traveling in the Kamakhya-Rangiya section. This one is further downstream.
But kamakhya is in Guahati !!!!!
Gautam Saharia True...but this is near Goalpara Town, not Kamakhya.
means we have more bridges like soraighat....good news for me...Thanks.
Excellent
Amazing, really mighty
True!
Simply stunning
Thanks!
Awesome video sir !!!!
Thanks! Such a massive river, right?
hmm
Ye kaha par hay city name
Yeh Jogighopa ke paas hai.
Why not painting jobs not done on steel truss ?
Not sure .. maybe not the top priority for IR.
Thanks :-)
Beautiful capturing.
Thanks!
Super sir Brahmaputra river is like a sea
Very true...mighty river.
Great river journey
It was really exciting to cross the massive river.
Great river of our sub-continent ❤.Bangladesh build 5km long bridge over this jamuna(Brahmaputra) river and also Bangladesh build Over padma river whice is mix of Ganga and Brahmaputra combined river and that bridge almost 9km long.Love u Jamuna(Brahmaputra) and also Padma(ganga).🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
I would love to travel on Bangladesh railways and enjoy the scenic routes there, especially their metre gauge lines.
@@ManiVijay You are welcome my brother❤
just one word - WOW!!!
Thanks, Partho! You crossed this bridge at night, correct?
Yup....even then it looked so huge and intensely beautiful....
How long this bridge is?
2.28 km, a bridge is alws made on the narrowest part of a river. Brahmaputra extends upto 20 km in wide in some parts of Assam. Another bridge "Bogibeel Bridge" will be inaugurated shortly in Dibrugarh district of Assam whose length will be almost 5 km.
Thanks for the update. Can't wait to experience the Bogibeel bridge.
@@rikudey1437 not 20km
It's nearly 13 km at Dibrugarh, Assam.
Not accounting the width of the river during floods
Haven't got a chance to travel in trains in England. Hopefully, someday soon :-)
lovely view
Thanks!
Beautiful
Thanks!
sir, please upload more silchar guwahati hill section videos. I am a huge fan of Indian Railways.. I want to become a loco pilot
Will upload more soon.
Mani Vijay thanks sir
River Bramhaputra has many old references starting from Veda.Sage Parhuram has washed his 'parshu'(weapon )in Bramhaputra river after killing his mother and brother .Hence as per Hindu rituals 'nadi snan' ies river bath is avoided. Further this river is considered as male river in Vedic. It is only one male river. R Bramhaputra has great potential for hydropower. It starts from Manas lake and merges into bay of Bengal. Single R Bramhaputra can easily feed half of India. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for all the interesting information.
thanks a lot
Shashi We believed that..so what's ur problem ? We Assam people respect our Mighty Brahmaputra.. Lord Brahmas Manas putra
Shashi ..I think u don't respect Hinduism....Rivers are revered as God n Goddess ..n various rituals are followed daily as per local traditions n customs...
Your mind is poisoned by thinking of Mating.. I'm sorry to say this is your State of Mind..
If you don't want to follow Hinduism better convert to other religions ..U will.be paid handsome money
@@bluesky2760 : We understand that puranas are mere stories as taught to us by kindergarten educated and convent education provided by english people. Our country is united by faith and not by belief ( Faith is perennial and belief is temporary). Even english people awed by Nile river and called it as a girl in their poems. Nile in tamil is called Neelam and blue in english and Neel rang in Hindi and Sanskrit. The colour of Nile river is also blue. Don't hurt the faith of people. Englishmen purposefully hurt our culture to promote their products and for trade. Our people promoted faith to keep culture and India in one unit. I am a tamilian but I love bengali and bengali culture only because great mirza ghalib wrote kavitha in bengali and not from satyajit ray and films. Rabindranath Tagore is my school icon for English and even today I am not matched by even english professor and I have knowledge of four languages including Hindi. Ap se ek baath bathaunga sir. Pyar bantha hai bharose mann se akhal se nahi akhal se kabi nahi. dhanyavad. Mani Vijay sir bhi Tamil jaanthe hain lekin hindiwala saheb hain spasht hindi aur tamil bolte hain. Yeh sab faith ka mamla hai bharosa hai lekin tatkal belief nahi hai. aap zara samajh jayiye.
My love river
Awesome v.d.o
Thanks!
Having heard about the Brahmaputra for years and years, I expected it to be full of water. Hence, was surprised to see islands. But when we were in Guwahati for our evening cruise, we were told that there is less water this year and they ended-up moving the cruise point to some other place upstream. And then we decided not to take the cruise but enjoy the evening sunset :-)
Great...
Thanks!
superb!!
Video quality superb hai bhai. Movie direct kar rhe ho kya train mein? Lol
Train mein mazaa le raha hoon aur movie bhi direct kar rahe hoon ... LOL :-)
Jai hind
Thrills
i bow down to the might of mother nature..
The wonders of mother nature!
Sign of a drought in Brahmaputra? Then what will you see the Central & Southern Indian rivers? Remember this is the river responsible for loss of millions of crops every year in the entire Assam valley due to flood....& this year was a no exception...I agree that small islands do make their presence in river beds sometimes,in fact if you cross Ganga @ Farakka Barrage,you can notice a standard island has been created with full of vegetations.That doesnt mean Ganga is suffering from drought...
Its the largets river
Good bhay
+Sabir Ahmed Thanks :-)
Thanku sir ji goodvidio you gratman
