Barog Railway Station at Barog Hill Station.

The Hill Station is named after Colonel Barog, an engineer who constructed the Kalka-Shimla Mountain railway line in the early 19th century. This Colonel committed suicide after being fined one Rupee (Yes; it is one rupee!) by the then British government, as the two ends of the tunnel near the Barog railway station did not meet due to errors in calculation done by him!
