My pictures with their little stories

Steam locomotive of Darjeeling Himalayan railway puffing its way Sitting so close to the steam locomotive of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (we were in the first row of the coach next to the loco) meant that I perfectly understood what puffing meant.  Steam locomotive is the ultimate multimedia experience - sound, smoke, steam, water droplets, coal particles and the locomotion.

Getting ready the steam locomotives of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Getting ready the steam locomotives of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) is an extremely elaborate and long drawn process. The preparations begin several hours prior to the journey. These locomotives are vintage and this means that the loco shed technicians and the drivers need to take extra care of these locos. Here these two beauties are being readied at the loco shed just outside Darjeeling railway station . ( Darjeeling , April 2017) Here is my blog post on Darjeeling Himalayan Railway
