Q.1
WBCS Prelims 2003
The highest railway station of the world is situated of Ghoom near Darjeeling at an altitude of
A. 2225 mt.
B. 3000 mt.
C. 8848 mt.
D. 2000 mt.
Explanation
Why Correct: Ghoom station on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is the second highest railway station in the world at 2,225 meters above sea level.
Distractor Analysis: 3,000 meters approximates the altitude of some high-altitude railway stations but not Ghoom. 8,848 meters is Mount Everest's height, which no railway station reaches. 2,000 meters is lower than Ghoom's actual elevation.
Takeaway: The world's highest railway station is Tanggula station on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in China at 5,068 meters above sea level.
