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.

[@georgejoseph7263]

It's not so much the lack of visitors as the lack of maintaining the famous old Hill Cart Road along side which the World Heritage railway track and train runs, which gets ravaged by landslides, mudslides and deforestation during the monsoon rains, needless to mention the waste and cellophane plastic clogging the once beautiful streamlets and waterfalls. Civic sense is lacking.

[@pratapchakraborty9282]

I took this train up to Darjeeling in 1985,seating on the foot board of the bogey next to the engine,watched the operating staff very closely,all of whom we're Nepalese men,very energetic & jovial. Now diesel locomotive has replaced the steam engine, yet the journey is very charming if one has time to watch the meandering sojurn through the mountains.

[@AndyDandanFisherSteam]

There were diesels operating many of the regular service trains when I recorded this in 2006. It's to be hoped, though, that a fleet of steam locos will be kept operable for the sake of India's heritage. In reality the diesels are almost as bad polluters as the steam locos, however, the pollution isn't as visible as the particulates from a steam loco. They are still destroying our climate though ..... Andy

[@LazyTourer]

@@AndyDandanFisherSteam At present the steam engines are only operational for joy ride service. Between Darjeeling and Ghum Station via Batasia loop. Pulling Maximum of 3 carriage depending on the number of ticket sold. There are 2 heritage joy ride service per day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. Though often the evening service gets cancelled due to rain, visibility or poor weather conditions. Steam loco service is no longer operational for the entire route. Though Indian Railways official press release states that for movie production, one may apply for booking an entire train and if logistically possible on given dates, Indian Railways may provide the service with steam loco. All steam engines are now located at Darjeeling steam loco shade. Loco Shade is right beside the station at Darjeeling, right on the main road. Many locos are getting cannibalized to keep few alive for the joy ride service. It's a hearth breaking scene to watch them in such tear down condition. Steam Loco fleet are now well over 125+ years old but those which are on active service, they are just mesmerizing to watch. Rode the heritage joy ride service few weeks back. Wish they had kept at least one running between NJP (Siliguri) and Darjeeling. However, local Railway staff says, it's better this way. At least this smaller joy ride duty would keep the steam service alive for many more years by extending the life span of the remaining engines. Thanks.

[@AndyDandanFisherSteam]

I agree that steam locomotives are bad polluters. Most of what you can see in the smoke, though, are the particulates which fall to the ground rapidly. The real damage is done by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. These are given out in just as large a quantity by road vehicles, aircraft, ships and power stations. There are only a tiny number of steam locos left working and they are beautiful and fascinating machines. They are a valuable relic from our industrial past and need to be saved from destruction. The pollution from these few steam locos is TINY compared to the pollution from the billions of road vehicles, aircraft and ships in the world. Getting rid of just a handful of steam locomotives will make no difference to the world but getting rid of the pollution from road vehicles would probably sort the problem in one move. If you’d like to save our Earth from disaster, please get rid of your car or motor bike, don’t buy anything that has been delivered by air, sea or lorry, switch off your electricity at home, never go on holiday by aircraft or car. Not easy, is it? Andy

i went on this train in march 1968 (golly!) and well remember the loop where the railway crosses itself, at 3.00 in this film. a man squatted on the front footplate with a bucket of sand, and on this sharp corner and steep incline, he threw sand onto the rails to make the wheels stick. but this was nothing to the rangoon to mandalay train, in 1986, which seemed to bounce on the rails in the most terrifying way. yet so far as i know it never actually bounced off, which may be because burma is a buddhist country. love your film, the steady camera, the muted colours, the marvellous visual images. absolutely glorious! a beautiful film-making achievement.

I am not an expert on pollution, but I feel the engine emitting the black smoke is not that dangerous as compared with the petrol and diesel pollution created by vehicles in a city. Here the engine smoke is only carbon and steam. But the cars/trucks burning petrol or diesel are producing carbon monoxide which is, if inhaled in excess, can kill.
