Colonel Barog's tunnel, Kalka–Shimla railway
Engineer Colonel Barog is said to have shot himself after his tunnel's two headings failed to meet; tunnel No. 33 on the Kalka–Shimla line, opened in 1903, is called haunted by him.
1903 CE · 30.89, 77.08 · status: legend
The account
The line's chief engineer H. S. Harington, guided by a local sage named Bhalku, completed a realigned tunnel. Barog station bears the colonel's name.
The sceptical view
Barog's story is told by the railway but poorly documented; the ghost is local tradition.
