Japan constructed the metre -
Japan constructed the metre - gauge railway from Bang Pong, Thailand to Thanbyuzayat, Burma. The line passing through the Three Pagodas Pass runs for 250 miles. This is now known as the death railway.
The railway was meant to transport cargo daily to India, to back up their planned attack on India. The construction was done using POWs and Asian slave labourers in unfavourable conditions. The work started in October 1942 and was completed a year later. Due to the difficult terrain, thousands of labourers lost their lives. It is believed that one life was lost for each sleeper laid in the track.
