one of the several steam engines located at Darjeeling
Just because it is so fascinating, seeing old steam engines being operated by machinists, riding century-old railway tracks crossing the road, and negotiating other ancient railway station elements, a few more photos from the heart of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, Darjeeling itself.
My brother would have loved this, I am sure!
the multiple tracks of Darjeeling Railway Station
not sure what this construction was used for, a deep gully protected by fences from the platfors on both sides; the stairs at the end suggest people could get to work under the train
and this was a construction to rotate the engine 180o
one of the engines in the Loco shed
there are two tracks in the Loco shed, and lots of engines
and I cannot get enough of it
they still run on coal, which is supplied to the train by hand
another one, in full glory
and there they go, belching steam in the process
a fired-up engine, running on coal
there are also a couple of diesel engines
and a switch, together with the switch guard
even at night the Loco shed in Darjeeling is a fascinating sight
