Gotuwala Nine Arch Viaduct, Demodara, Sri Lanka

A Sri Lankan Express Train between the capital Colombo and the main line terminus at Badulla enters the Nine Arch Viaduct also known as the Gotuwala Viaduct  between Demaodera and Ella Railway Stations in the Uva Provice. In a seperate post I have written about this viaduct. Recently the Sri Lanka Postal Authorities issued two stamps to commemorate the Engineering marvels of the Sri Lankan Railways. One stamp shows the viaduct and the other the Spiral Railway at Demodera.
