Steam locomotive 805 at DHR loco shed, Darjeeling Looking at the steam locos at the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway loco shed was a fulfilling experience. The afternoon light ensured that the heavy metal of the locos stood out with the texture and shine of the surface making a huge statement. The red plate fitted on the blue coloured loco with 805 in copper colours created a distinct persona for this steam locomotive.( Darjeeling , 2017) Here is my blog post on Darjeeling Himalayan Railway

Little girl at Ghum railway station The momos and chai at Ghum railway station tea stall were delivered with an unexpected bonus. This little girl, who was the granddaughter of the lady running the show, turned out to be a very expressive kid. I really enjoyed my time at this tea stall playing with this little girl.

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
