Hello and welcome back to India!
Today's video is one I've been looking forward to for the longest time! We'll be up in the Himalaya Mountains taking a ride on the 'Toy Train' from Darjeeling down to Siliguri. This mesmerising trip will have you in wonder at every stage, from the lack of signal and level crossings, to the stunning scenery. So please sit back and enjoy the video!

In 1986 my wife and I rode our bikes from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling during a cycling and trekking trip to India and Nepal: We could easily outpace the train on the uphill sections, especially when the steam loco would stop for water at various streams en route. We would pass the train, then stop and wait for it to pass us, then repeat all the way to Ghoom. On the way back from Darjeeling we took the train with our bikes to Ghoom, then rode a precipitously steep road down to a border crossing into the Terai where we caused major confusion among the Nepali border guards who had never seen a couple of Westerners on bikes ever before. Fun times!

Your lungs must be good to cycle at that height. I visited my boss in Colorado (height 7000 ft). His wife is a keen cyclist and she knew that I cycle so she asked me to come for a ride. I mounted my boss's heavy American cruiser bicycle and she hopped on to her lightweight racing bike. Every time I tried to catch up with her, my vision went monochrome.

The speeds are so slow that it is more like a tram, when it passes through urban areas, making it relatively safe in the streets and around cars. This looks like a truly fascinating trip. Respect to all the workers, who maintain this railway in operating condition despite limited resources, extreme terrain and weather conditions.

What a great video. I loved the organised chaos along the urban darjeeling section. Those switchbacks are similar to railways found in the Andes of South America where altitude is gained in a short distance.The line from Guayaquil to Quito in Ecuador, is a prime example. I look forward to you featuring Andean railways in future videos. I travelled the railway between Arica in Chile to La Paz in Bolivia over 30 years ago. That was quite a memorable experience. The train was a single car railbus sourced from the branch lines of Munich in the 1930s. You travel from sea level to 12000 ft reaching the Altiplano and feeling the effects of altitude as you go. . Just before we rolled into La Paz at nearly midnight, the train derailed and I thought it was game over, but people appeared out of nowhere, and managed to rerail the train using stones!!! I was amazed at their resourcefulness! The train also had a tiny galley on board and we were served several hot meals as a result. Unfortunately I lost my camera, at the time, but still have fabulous memories.

And the way the scenery changed dramatically when the train reached the plateau and took us through the cultivations and villages was absolutely beautiful. thanks so very much indeed.

Loved to watch this and nice narration. There are 6 switchbacks in DHR, 3 below Tindharia and the rest 3 above Tindharia. I grew up in Tindharia, and my father served DHR as Junior Engineer for as long as 19 years. I grew up listening to the steam engines, sirens from TIndharia workshops, and many more. Though I live in a metro city now, but my heart always stays there in the Hills.

Lovely video with a thoughtful commentary. We travelled in the opposite direction in 2015 just before I retired. We were fortunate that the old steam locos were still running. Darjeeling is a great place to visit surrounded by tea plantations. There is a view point above the town where you can see, on a clear day, Kanchenjunga( I think one of the locos in the video was named after it), the second highest mountain and if really lucky Everest. Keep filming in India, it’s a magical place.

Thanks for a superb video! I have never travelled on the DHR, but I have travelled on the two other railways which have been designated by UNESCO as 'World Heritage Sites'. Both lines are in the Alps, both are electrified and both have frequent passenger services. The Albula-Bernina line in Switzerland is narrow guage and goes round in a spiral five times. As well as hourly local trains there are the luxury Bernina Expresses. The Semmering Line in Austria is a double-track standard guage main line of European importance for both freight and passengers. It is part of the Austrian Sudbahn, which links Vienna with southern Austria (Graz and Klagenfurt) and northern Italy (especially Venice and the port of Trieste). The contrast with the DHR is very stark!

We used to get free tickets as my Dad was an officer in Indian Railways. Loved your vlog and thanks for coming to Darjeeling.

Great video! My parents used to travel on this line in the nineteen twenties when they lived in India. I was lucky enough to ride in the "Train to the Clouds" in northern Argentina before they cut out the , more interesting, lower part of the trip. The cork-screws and switchbacks abound and a lot of the switchbacks have tunnels at each end due to the terrain. I think that it is a lot higher than the Dargeeling train at 4300 meters. Also due to the height it is mostly desert so you get a good view of where you have been, Thanks again for a fine movie.

Travelled on the Toy Train many times, the coal-n-steam version. In fact, each December, when school closed for the winter holidays, a whole train would be booked to get almost 300 of us down from Kurseong to Siliguri, or later, New Jaloaiguri! Good times indeed 🛤️

Greetings from Singapore he DHR or fondly called the ,"toy train " the steam locomotives were built between 1879 and 1881 had a different charm to it .The train uses six zig zags (switch ) and five loops to gain altitude the construction had come to a standstill - Legend has it the project incharges wife had a dream about the switch and that's how they overcame the steep incline. I studied in boarding school in Darjeeling in the 70's was the steam train hauling carriages -We would go on picnics hiking and hitchhike on the train and jump off at Batasia Loop or Goom to start our hikes into Senchal Forest or go further down to Tung Sonada . Due to the rainy season you missed the fantastic views of the Himalayan landscape dotted with the famous tea plantations made famous world over with the Darjeeling Tea .In fact you cross Castleton which always has record prices for the best orthodox tea and in the plains you go past the larger plantations which has a different process of manufacturing called CTC ,type of tea which you find people drinking all over India .A bit more research on the region and would have made the video more interesting .

the story I was told was that his wife was so fed up with the amount of tine he spent on the job she said to him "you are forever coming and going " which triggered the concept of the switchback section of the track. I was in and out of Darjeeling from 1976 to 1981 with my children in boarding school.

I did that train when I was a teenager - back in the 1980s. By the time I got to the top (Darjeeling) I wish I had caught a bus. Although in those days the busses were slow, dangerous and crowded it would have been better than the train. The train took for ever. When I rode the train it was empty. The seating was benches and there were zero facilities Though judging by this post it sounds as if it’s a tourist thing now rather than a working train. Do a bit of it and then get off and catch a bus. Mind you, Indian busses . . . . . now there is a thing.

Muchas gracias por este esplendido video! Es alucinane realmente!!!! Me llama la atencion que en el tren va la gente bastante abrigada , hasta con gorros y se cruza con otro en el que algunas pesonas se ven con remeras mangas cortas y hasta me parecio ver una playa con sombrillas...Me gustaria hacer ese viaje. En Argentina es muy comun (quizas por falta de educacion) que la gente pase con las barreras bajas, la bocina sonando , las campanillas tambien tratando de ganar unos segundos y mas de uno ahi queda...Si tuviesemos un tren asi no quiero imaginar los accidentes que habria. Alli la gente parece acostumbrada a ese recorrido , y respetuosa

I thoroughly enjoyed this Himalayan train journey. It really was Mind Blowing!! I've been an avid train for many years (especially steam trains) and this mountainous railway track set in roads and streets was crazy!! I was very impressed by your camera work and would love to know what you used to record this video. Was it by a phone camera or proper video camera? Many thanks for the upload of this train journey 😀👍

I did this trip as a child, from Siliguri to Darjeeling, back in 1971! An abiding memory, is adventurous young men jumping off the train, outrunning it and jumping back on, as the steam engine huffed and puffed to pull the train uphill.

Siliguri is my hometown and I often take my scooter and go out for a ride till Sukna or Rongtong station to enjoy the nature or catch a glimpse of the toy train. Darjeeling hills are best to visit during the month of November when the skies are clear.
