The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is a steeply graded narrow-gauge line connecting the plains of New Jalpaiguri in Eastern India to the foothills of the Himalayas in Darjeeling. Led by a century-old steam loco, it is filmed from above as it conquers the world’s tallest mountain range. This is the epitome of hill railway engineering in India.
Darjeeling Himalayan Railway er en bratt jernbanestrekning som går fra New Jalpaiguri i Øst-India til Darjeeling ved foten av Himalaya. Damplokomotivet filmes fra oven idet det tar seg opp verdens høyeste fjellkjede. Dette er den fremste blant Indias jernbaner i fjellene.
Als „Spielzeugbahnen“ bezeichnen die Inder halb spöttisch, halb liebevoll die Schmalspurbahnen, die noch vielerorts im Land verkehren. Zu ihnen gehört der eindrucksvolle Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
