Into the station

Into the station
The UNESCO listed Darjeeling Himalaya Toy Train (1880's locomotive) steaming into the Darjeeling Railway Station...down the main street. It is a very narrow gauge mountain railway, taking about 10 hours to ascend from Siliguri and travel 70 kilometers to Darjeeling at around 2000 meters in the Himalayas. A real relic of the British Raj, when Darjeeling was the main Hill Station in India, where people escaped from summer in Calcutta, the then capital of British India

What a marvellous find, it reminds me of the old canefields engines. A well taken and very different street scene.

It is quite a unique little number, climbing up to 2000 meters via loops, zig-zags and switchbacks...at about 7 kph! It also goes down the Main Street of villages en route, and criss crosses the road every 500 meters or so.
