Description:

Darjeeling Toy Train

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway also known as the DHR or the Toy Train is a 2 ft gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling in the Indian state of West Bengal. Built between 1879 and 1881 it is about 88 km long. It climbs from about 100 m above sea level at New Jalpaiguri to about 2200 m at Darjeeling using six zig zags and five loops to gain altitude. Six diesel locomotives handle most of the scheduled service with daily tourist trains from Darjeeling to Ghum Indias highest railway station and the steam-hauled Red Panda service from Darjeeling to Kurseong. Steam-enthusiast specials are hauled by vintage British-built B-Class steam locomotives. The railways headquarters are at Kurseong.
