This is a rail car which used to run from Shimla to Kalka and vice versa. This is a world heritage track so you will enjoy this trip . I am from Shimla and I used to watch this station and toy trains daily. Great video...
I traveled on kalka Simla line in 1940_46 when l studied in primary school ln Summerhill_Balugan area.I still have lots of sweet memories of those wonderfull days.j
Similar type of rail car were exist in Mumbai upto 1980. Those were own by Mumbai municipal corporation and it was on own land. Those railcars were called as trolley. It was having narrow gauge.It was used for maintainence of huge water trunk mains of size 1.8m Dia,2.4mdia and other water retaining structures. Those railcars were used to travel from Ghatkopar Yard to Powai,Chembur and upto Tansa dam located at 60km from city. With the development of roadnetwork use of this trollies was stop. Today the track is under enchroachmenf at many places. I had travelled upto Tansa dam before 45years with my father in my childhood. My father was working in Bmc as an Engineer. Thanks. For making me nostalgic.
I rode on that line from Ghatkopar to Tansa Lake and back, 1951; I was 6 years old. Lovely "English-style" lunch at the Chief Engineer's bungalow at Tansa. The yard at Ghatkopar was fascinating; a miniature version of a full - sized rail yard with a variety of engines, small trains, single railcars, and wagons for carrying maintenance equipment. The fun ride was the open motorized rail-buggy. Nostalgia indeed!
Trolley or trams are different they are not same, yes they run on rails and rails were embedded in streets, u still get to seem them in Europe. They have overhead electrical wires and their track changing system is also different.
This is very interesting, would enjoy seeing more videos like this. I like to see the smaller areas of the railroad communities. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you foreigners for this love, but you should remember and show your love to BABA BALKU RAM A SHEPHERD, British india takes help of this man to rail survey from Kalka to Shimla .
Very nice little video. I agree with Alistair Kewish definitely looks like one half of the 'Sheffield-Simplex' style of 'rail-motors', - built in the UK, although I don't know of any being operated in the UK. I believe several, virtually exactly the same operated in Ireland for the 'County Donegal Railways' - or - 'The Louth Swilly' - (sorry my memory is getting a little hazy nowadays) - and were painted Orange and Cream, although they are long gone and I think were longer and possibly towed a Goods Van when required. Does this lovely piece of 'history' still run as it looks in lovely condition, although I realise this was filmed 6 years ago and a lot can happen in that time.

@@lordof7seas bilkul sahi....today modi government is laying down several new tracks...like...Delhi to Kanpur frate corridor... bullet train line etc...
Shimla you train. British built this entire 90km difficult rail lines about 100years back at the total cost of only Rupees one Crores.There were no corruption and bribery . Now Bombay bullet train will cost this mnation huge USD 90bn. Salute to British. Railways should modernise this tour with latest Toy train high speed world class engine.
@ Kamal, What logic??? Quoting prices of a 100 years ago!! As for corruption whatever infrastructure the British built in India was for the sole purpose of mainitaining communication to facilitate extraction , movement of resources to outside India and to facilitate military movement in order to maintain control.
The very distant ghosts of a certain Shefflex set of early petrol rail car springs to mind?Cheap and cheerful, said the Colonel.Many hands make turntable work ok? Fascinating bit of film, even if it is 5 years old!Alistair

thank you for that information. I was curious what that was used for, since I didn't see any couplers on the machine

अति सुंदर तकनीक , किंतु आज के समय में इसका विद्युतीकरण नितांत आवश्यक है।
Thanks a lot for sharing this video. First time saw a manual turn table working. 😃
A man lived on a very busy road and had a turntable on his driveway so he could turn his car for a safer drive in the traffic.
the correct term is an armstrong turntable
RailCar also used to ply from Karachi Cantt to Hyderabad Sind and on to Mirpur Khaas Sindh in 50s and 60s
Love from Abu dhabi (Dubai)

Great Video
Shimla you train.

Railways should modernise this tour with latest Toy train high speed world class engine.
kamal Bardia corruption is like in blood of many indians. I do not thjnk india can build this sort of infra
"no corruption and bribery"? The British made Railways with our money. So, the context is very different.
This is a heritage site. No need to modernise it. Rather maintain it.
@ Kamal, What logic??? Quoting prices of a 100 years ago!!
As for corruption whatever infrastructure the British built in India was for the sole purpose of mainitaining communication to facilitate extraction , movement of resources to outside India and to facilitate military movement in order to maintain control.
1 core 100 years? Damn that is like 120 core in today's money
Lot of manpower hanging about!
such a nice thing on wheels :)
The very distant ghosts of a certain Shefflex set of early petrol rail car springs to mind?Cheap and cheerful, said the Colonel.Many hands make turntable work ok? Fascinating bit of film, even if it is 5 years old!Alistair
??????????????
AWESOME
அருமை
It sounds as if it has a clutch, a mechanical, like Plymouth switchers were here in the US. Most likely, a manually shifted transmission, chain drive.
That was great I wonder what country this is
It literally says India in the channel name
It's Incredible India ❤️
👍🏽👍🏿👍🏾👍🏼👍🏻멋져요
This railcar has no couplers. it moves on its own power. What will happen if engine trouble incurs along the way?
I like it
Всё в ручную, охренеть!..
Better' you people come to Darjeeling and see the toytrain and apply the same you people will get benefit
6:05 is there a blue white model of the train/car on the side ?
Yes, yes there is

Неужели было сложно сделать разворотное кольцо. И больше никакой мускульной разворотной силы.
А мне говорили, что таких маневровых устройств для локомотивов: не существует!
Looks so dilapidated. Has the lines or trains ever been updated since the British built them???
It's a little train bus.
What??? Manual???? 😯🤤😲
Nice 😂
Shame for Congress & BJP who have made Summer Capital of India Shimla to Sangam Vihar, full of Congestion/Chaos, Crime & Corruption. Living Hell.
