Udupussallawa Railway was a narrow gauge railway line that existed in Ceylon (Now Sri Lanka) between 1904 and 1948. The line connected Nanu Oya with Ragala via Nuwara Eliya. ==History== The closest station to the Nuwaraeliya town on existing Main Line (Sri Lanka) was Nanu Oya station. The distance from Nuwara Eliya to Nanu Oya was about 4 miles and Colonial planters in Nuwaraeliya faced many difficulties when transporting goods from Nanu Oya to Nuwaraeliya. They asked for a railway track from Nanu Oya to Nuwaraeliya from the British governor Sir West Ridgeway who was on a trip to Nuwaraeliya on 25 April of 1895. Considering their appeal initial work of the track was started on November 1900. The first stage up to Nuwaraeliya was completed and opened on 14 December 1903 by Sir Henry Blake, and the whole line was completed in 1904. 〔
