The video of a railway bridge connecting two cliffs is doing the rounds on social media, claiming that it is the test run on the newly constructed bridge over the Chenab river on the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link.
The caption with the video reads: “Congratulations India!!! Successful small train test run was conducted on March 21 on world’s highest railway track under construction on Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link on Chenab river in #JammuAndKashmir”

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post, and found it to be misleading.
Putting the keyframes of the video through Reverse Image Search, we found similar images of the same bridge, suggesting that it is the Beipanjiang Railway Bridge in China.
We found several articles and pictures of the Beipanjiang Railway Bridge — world’s highest railway bridge — from 2001 to 2016. These articles can be seen here and here.
The above comparison establishes that the video in question is of the Beipanjiang Railway Bridge which is China.
In addition, the latest official video from the Railway Ministry of the Chenab Bridge between Bakkal and Kauri in Jammu and Kashmir shows that it is different from the bridge in the video in question.
