The ‘Sense of Heritage’ is all about iconic train, legendary railway line and World Heritage City. Sri Lanka Railway or Ceylon Railway made its first journey to Kandy in 1867, making a way for the planters to transport their coffee production to Colombo, 25 years after it was originally discussed in 1842.
