Beautiful Video of toy train .The little steamlocomotive takes us to the nostalgia and eara when mighty steam locomotives have ruled the entire tracks of Indian Rlys no matter whether its meter gauge or brod .
It may be small but it is no toy - it serves very real, valuable & necessary commercial & social functions. Narrow gauge is necessary for winding mountainous routes with many sharp bends.
Much as I like trains I'm not sure how long I'd put up with one running a foot from my front door. This reminds me of a museum I work at in Durham. The pavement is narrow so there's a sign inside the door warning visitors to look out for traffic. Trains though- not such a problem. It's good to see some new footage from you- especially when it is well up to your usual high standard. Looking forward to more from your travels.
Of course to make transhipment of goods easy, the meter gusge and Narrow guage trains r being eradicated/ Abolished and in their place Broadgusge trains r being placed,but in order to remember and Remind us of old times, in some odd areas and small distance s,the meter gusge lines b allowed to rmain side-by-side the new Broad gusge lines.
I always like to go to Google Maps and follow the trains on their routes. I noticed all the Umbrellas at the beginning of this video. And guess what... The Google Map of Darjeeling is completely clouded - so you can't Zoom in.
My ride on in the year 1995, specially for my son, then tenth standard. V memorable and mesmerizing journey through the lovely eco system. I always wish a remarkable operation by Himalayan railway's, Darjeeling , west Bengal.
This is really a "toy" train! :) At 6:32, we see, at the left if the image, a very high tall and narrow tree that seem father than the closer smaller trees. We see one again, on the right, far away in the fog, at 7:17. Long, narrow with a broader top. Anyone knows what kind of tree that is? An how high it can get? Looks quite impressive!
The steam locos on this line may look shabby and well run down on the outside but. The boilers and working parts are very well maintained. And dispite the
Luke knott For their age they don't look shabby to me at all. I hope they keep them running forever. Or at least long enough for me to travel there and experience them for myself.
UPGRADE TO DIESEL ENGINE FOR THE ECONOMICS. THE BEAUTY O ENGINEER AND ENGINEERING MATTERS. MAINTENANCE COST MATTERS. I BELIEVE. THE EXPERIENCE IN MOUNTAIN RAILWAYS MAY HELP THE OTHER REGIONS TOOO,,, ,,, ,,, ,,, I BELIEVEEE. A BIOLOGIST ND AN ENGINEER.
+Anjali Joshi India is beautiful country by nature,but the people of India don't take any care of it.I wish England should've not left India,otherwise this country would've been a country of it's kind.
