Darjeeling Himalayan Railway DHR Tanago 2018
Im Mai 2018 fuhren wir mit dem DHR-Güterzug von Siliguri nach Darjeeling. Mit 5 Güterwagen ging´s los, aber nach und nach verloren wir unseren Zug: Entgleisungen, technische Probleme... und am Ende waren nur noch 2 Wagen fahrfähig - mit denen rollten wir dann aber in Darjeeling ein!
In May 2018 we ran our second freight train adventure on the DHR: as usual we started at Siliguri with 5 freght cars... but lost 3 on the way this time: derailments, technical issues. At the end we made it with only 2 freight wagons to Darjeeling - but we made it!

Outside perspective of the full journey of the Heritage Darjeeling Himalayan Railway route between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling. My friend Natarajan and I followed the train from Siliguri Junction to Ghoom on a hired scooter. From a hot, dusty December morning, we ended up with a rain soaked cold evening, all the while constantly clicking still pics as well as videos.
Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, which is other wise referred to as Darjeeling Toy Train have most number of services between Darjeeling and Ghum and couple of Tourist specials from Kurseong as well. But just one daily train runs between New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling.

Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the DHR or the Toy Train, is a 2 ft (610 mm) 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 (55 mi) long. It climbs from about 100 m (328 ft) above sea level at New Jalpaiguri to about 2,200 m (7,218 ft) 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 — India's 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 railway's headquarters are at Kurseong.
On 2 December 1999, UNESCO declared the DHR a World Heritage Site. Two more railway lines were later added, and the site became known as one of the mountain railways of India.
Rolling stock:
Present:
Steam:
All the steam locomotives currently in use on the railway are 0-4-0 ST B-Class, built by Sharp, Stewart and Company and later the North British Locomotive Company between 1889 and 1925. A total of 34 were built, but by 2005 only 12 were still in use or being repaired by the railway.
The DHR purchased the third Garratt locomotive built, a D Class 0-4-0+0-4-0 T, in 1910. Only one DHR steam locomotive has been taken out of India: No. 778 (originally No. 19). After many years out of use at the Hesston Steam Museum, it was sold to an enthusiast in the UK and restored to working order. Now on a private railway (the Beeches Light Railway in Oxford shire), it has run on the Stiffening Railway, the Launceston Steam Railway and the Leigh ton Buzzard Light Railway.
Route
The line follows Hill Cart Road, which is part of National Highway 110. The track is on the roadside for long stretches, and both track and road might be blocked by a rock slide. Since a length of the road is flanked with buildings, the railway line often resembles urban tramway tracks. To warn pedestrians and drivers of an approaching train, engines are equipped with very loud horns which train drivers sound almost constantly.
Stations:
• New Jalpaiguri (NJP): New Jalpaiguri was the terminus of the 1964 southern extension to meet the new 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge line to Assam.
• Siliguri Town: The line's original southern terminus
• Siliguri Junction: Siliguri Junction became a major station when a new line was built to Assam during the early 1950s. From NJP to Siliguri Junction, the 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge line runs parallel to the DHR.
• Sukna: This station begins a change in the landscape, from flat plains to the wooded lower slopes of the mountains. The gradient of the railway changes dramatically. Loop 1, in the woods above Sukna, was removed after flood damage in 1991 and the site is obscured by the forest.
• Rangtong: A short distance above Rangtong is a water tank, better positioned than at the station in terms of water supply and distance from other water tanks. Loop 2 was removed in 1942 after flood damage. A new reverse, No. 1, was added for the longest reverse run. Loop No. 3, at Chunbatti, is now the lowest loop. Reverses No. 2 and 3 are between Chunbatti and Tindharia.
• Tindharia: Workshops are below the station. An office for engineers and a large locomotive shed are on a separate site. Above the station are three sidings, used to inspect the carriage while the locomotive is changed before the train continues towards Darjeeling.
• Loop 4: Known as Agony Point, the loop has the line's tightest curve.
• Gayabari
• Reverse No. 6: The last reverse on the climb
• Mahanadi
• Kurseong: Although a shed and several sidings are adjacent to the main line, the station proper is a dead end. Darjeeling-bound trains must back out of the station (across a busy road junction) to continue the climb. The station houses a one-room DHR museum with several exhibits, artifacts and vintage photos. At the centre of the room, a wooden showcase contains several old newspaper articles about the railway. After the station, the railway passes a busy shopping area.
• Tung
• Sonada
• Rongbull
• Jorebungalow: A storage point for tea bound for Kolkata, it connects Darjeeling to the rest of India.
• Ghum: Ghum, the line's summit, is India's highest station. The station building includes a first-floor museum, with larger exhibits in the old goods yard.
• Batasia Loop: The loop is 5 km (3.1 mi) from Darjeeling, below Ghum. There is a memorial to the Gorkha soldiers of the Indian Army who sacrificed their lives after Indian independence in 1947. The loop has a panoramic view of Darjeeling, with Kangchenjunga and other snow-capped mountains in the background.
• Darjeeling: The terminus of the line

India - Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, 2006 (Trailer)
This is a trailer only ... the full 41 minute video was available on Sellfy as a chargeable item. However, I have decided to release the second part through You Tube and will, in all probability, release the full Part 1 on You Tube eventually. Please watch this space !!
We follow a 2006 chartered steam train from Siliguri (after a brief visit to Jalpaiguri) to the terminus in Darjeeling, 48 miles away and 2100 metres (6890 feet) higher in the Himalayan foothills. Part 1 covers the journey from Siliguri to Tindharia, where the company's workshops are based. The DHR 2ft gauge line is seen crossing the 5ft 6in gauge Indian Railways mainline. There follows a lengthy section of street running before the railway commences its climb into the mountains. During the steepest part of the climb, there are a number of loops (spirals) and reverses (zig-zags) in order to gain altitude in a short distance. Later on the journey to Darjeeling, there is some spectacular street running right through the middle of village shopping streets. These will feature in Part 2 of the video. The line became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.
