    000_COVERS.qxd 2/13/1950 7:25 PM Page 3 000_COVERS.qxd 2/13/1950 7:25 PM Page 4 I take this opportunity to congratulate the USBRL team for appreciable work done on the project in the last one year and for bringing out the publication of the 12th issue of this Technical Magazine Himprabhat. The Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) is a treasure trove of knowledge, new techniques, state-of-the-art technology and varied experience for engineers and is, thus, a unique project in the annals of Indian Railway. The magazine not only provides the details of experience gained during the course of implementation of the project but also provides a platform for the project team to share their views. This is a very commendable effort for documenting the important facets of challenges in the Himalayas for contemporary professionals as well as for posterity. I hope that USBRL maintains the momentum and spirit and continues to move forward in realisation of dreams of connecting Kashmir valley to the Indian Railway network as well as to take forward this fascinating journey of publication of a magazine to enrich all experienced and young engineers alike. I am glad to see the 12th issue of Himprabhat Technical News Magazine giving an account of the achievement of technical marvels and the challenges faced by the USBRL Organisation of Northern Railway. The USBRL team has had a breakthrough in tunneling efforts, excavating 26.34 km in 2018-19 against last year’s progress of 17.05 km, which is 54.5% more compared to last year.
