- Lineside views of a Darjeeling Tours Ltd Charter special hauled by B Class steam locos between Siliguri Junction and Darjeeling on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
Filmed over two days, the first part concentrates on the section of line between Siliguri and Tindharia on 5th March 2018. The second section, filmed on 6th March 2018, covers the section between Tindharia and Darjeeling.
Finally, there is a brief look around the line's workshops at Tindharia.
With this train reel, darjiling has become a must visit soon
As I am from Darjeeling I'm proud to see the World Heritage Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in this vdo clip . This is one of the beautiful place in India . The Queen of the hills . Thanks for the vdo .
As a young lad growing up in British India, living in Calcutta at the time. I had the privilege to be sent to boarding school GOETHALS MEMORIAL SCHOOL, KURSEONG, 30 km. from Darjeeling. Back in the day, the Toy Train ran regular services from Siliguri to Darjeeling. When we arrived at Siliguri after a 'two-day' journey from Calcutta the students were always excited to board the Toy Train reserved especially for us. We had our own 'Siding' a special STOP at the entrance to our school. As you can imagine the Toy Train full to capacity with very mischievous young boys it was a nightmare for the teachers to keep us under control. 2018, I have just recently visited the school which stands on a hilltop and clearly visible from the train with a large sign painted on a wall GOETHALS MEMORIAL SCHOOL.
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?
THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL VIDEO.
If only we could go back and relive all those memories.... Thanks for the comments.
Wonderfully expressed reminiscences!
That was a nice comment; I think we all have this moments we wish we could live all over again.
How old are you?
Same here, Haemish. Was in Goethals in the early 70s. Could never get over the thrill of the 'Toy' Train - jumping off, running down the khud, and catching the train again as it came round the bend!
This is one of the best films of this line I have seen and I've watched many.superb location shots as well many thanks for posting.
Thanks for your kind comments, pleased you enjoyed it.
😲🥲
Ok
It would be amazing to see that little engine fully restored and gleaming in the sunlight!
That engine is working vary hard. I am amazed it has lasted this long even with good maintenance.
Loudest steam loco in the world?, this thing barks from begin to end, fantastic.
Yes, for a very small loco they were thrashed mercilessly hence the very loud exhaust noise.
I saw this video until last, I know DHR is awesome bt your shots and capturing style is too awesome, actually I am from West Bengal, India and we proud for this....
Thanks for your comments Sanjeeb, pleased you like the video. It is a wonderful railway and long may it continue to run.

Looks like the tracks needs maintenance ..amazing video and thanks for sharing...glory of Indian railways.Nice to see India retains talented engineers and technicians who make these beauties chug...brilliant British engineer made the Y type rail to avoid harpim bend..he is real genius
Thanks for your comments. The engineers who look after this amazing railway deserve much credit for the incredible job they do to keep the trains running.

Vಜ಼್
Each location expresses a lot ... much effort ... much fun ... distinguished professional cameramen
Amazing journey, enchanting view ,well maintained ,good management ,good service to the people & tourists as well, thank u for the video,may God bless you & your country.
I rode this train from Darjeeling to Siliguri in August 1975 when I was working in India. It was an unforgettable experience.
Sir would request you to visit again and take a ride once more . :) even i am looking forward to take a ride on these amazing piece of engineering glad they are still running .

Thanks for the comment and invitation. I would greatly enjoy that train again.
time seemed to have stood still since steam revolution but still and fond reminder of how the world was once. Only lucky few get to do this journey I guess. Jig jags, bends and cliff edges with vehicles running alongside, a sight to behold.
Absolutely delightful! I was enchanted by the train, the country side and the people.
Thanks for your comments; yes it is a very enchanting place.

Fascinating video Peter of this wonderful railway. It must have been quite an experience.
Thanks Austin. Yes it was an incredible experience just visiting India apart from the fantastic railways themselves.
Thank you... Welcome to Taiwan to take pictures of the Alpine Train-Alishan Railway when you have time.
Fantástico comboinho com um percurso muito bonito. Parabéns aos autores deste magnífico trabalho.
What a lovely video Peter. Just rode the DHR from NJP to Darjeeling. It was an experience out of some fairy tale book. The Rang Tong station was amazing. It suddenly appears after a curve like magic. Tindharia is where the UP train says "Hi" to the DOWN one. The loops, Z reverse, overlap of the Hill Cart Road, I have never experienced anything like this before, boy Sheldon Cooper would have loved this ride 😊. Each station in this route is mesmerizing. The Mahanadi, Sonada and Tung on the road, the reverse of Kurseong, the Batasia loop guarding the Gorkha memorial in the backdrop of Kunchenzonga, the summit at Ghoom finally resting at Darjeeling and last but not the least, Sukna where the climb starts. Each moment of that journey flashed before me via this video. Thanks so much for this.
THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAINTAIN THIS. I HAVE ALREADY BOOKED FOR THIS IN MARCH 2020. APPRECIATION TO THE MOST OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO MAINTAIN THIS INCLUDING LADIES IN THE WORKSHOP. SALUTE TO THEM.
a truly great video.
Only just discovered your video Peter and seen myself in it in several places. The quality of the photography is wonderful, and the DHR itself is one of the railway wonders of the world. What a trip that was.
Thanks Claire, it certainly was an amazing trip.
Good
Amazing! Thank you for uploading

GREAT BRITISH AND SCOOTISH ENGINEERS AND INDIAN LABOURS . SALUTE TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTTED THEIR SERIVICE FOR THIS DIVINE TRAIN LINE. EVEN I HAVE TRAVELLED IN JACOBITE TRAIN FROM FORT WILLIAMS AND MALLAIGH IN SCOTLAND. BUT THIS IS GREAT AND UNIQUE. I CAN SAY THIS MORE DIVINE THAN ANYTHING.

Just amazing!!!!
Wonderful......
There is ancient footage of this railway in some Cinerama travelogue shot in the mid-1950s.
Want to try once at least in a lifetime. In 2015 i visited india and planned to visit darjeeling but unfortunately a landslide happened and blocked the road to darjeeling at that time. Hope covid will end sooner. Greetings from indonesia
Hope you manage to get there, well worth it.
Fjm

Darjeeling hills ooh.. my home. I was in metro (mrt in singapore) going to my room frm my working place watching this video n I enjoyed it a lot cus I cud remember my days there
Beautiful view
How wonderful, truly fantastic filming. How many cameramen did you use to make this great film? Brought many happy thoughts as I travelled this line in 2010. A lot of it at the time was closed due to landslip. Has that all been cleared ? so where does it not start from? THANK YOU for the pleasure you have given me. Richard.
Thanks for the comments, pleased it gave you some pleasure. The filming was all done by myself. It was taken whilst I was on a Darjeeling Tours 'Indian Magic' trip; we had a bus so that tour participants could either travel on the train or photograph/video it from the lineside. I chose the latter so I could film the train from the lineside, after each shot the bus would overtake the train in order to get the next shot, etc. At the time of filming (March 2018) the line had recently reopened throughout from NJP and Darjeeling following landslides in the previous two or three years.
撮り鉄お疲れ様でした🎵
鉄分補給にいい動画ありがとうございました🎶
Cool pictures scene
That lane changer boarded the train very neaty, it was a great escape
Beautiful View
Ni har ett fantastiskt tekniskt arv o historia vårda o värna hälsningar från Sverige
Beautiful 😍
Very nice! I like it!
Very beautiful train! I have also one video of the Darjeeling Himalayan...Thank you! Best Regards from Germany, Railherbie
better than any hollywood movie ive seen last 20 years
Thanks for viewing and comments.
I like the poverty but efficient railroad, straight and well maintained tracks, the train clean and functional certainly another thing when compared to the Myanmar Railways, where the tracks are in poor condition and the diesel locomotive on the plain has to go slower than one. old steamer in the mountains .....
Wow the great experience tour by steam train in Himalayan railway sir....how lenght from start to the finished this trip ?
The trip from Siliguri to Darjeeling was over 2 wonderful days.
Outstanding really enjoying
Many thanks.
Amazing n fantastic.. I see a beautiful place n technical train road railway. I love this vidios. 😅
Fantastic Video!👍
Thanks
I've done that journey. It might have been a interesting to see the view from the train and the places the train passed through, instead of just seeing the train.
View from the train between Darjeeling and Ghum on Part 2.
its my home town...😍
i love my darjeeling
🙂🙄🙄🙂🙂🙂🙂
Amazing' video
Thank you.
some of the shoves on the switchbacks look difficult. Clearly too much grade but with a run at it, they make it barely. These engineers, know how to get the most out of it. Very nice train handling skills.
The locos are thrashed but they usually make the grade ok.
lovely video
Thanks for your comment.
God I love the loops.
It's called Z crossing
Beautiful
I once lived in Brackenbury Road, West London... choo choo
Wow... my hometown 😇
Know Bengali then ?
ILike this vedio Debu
Its my birth place...
People in india are really risk takers. Those two men sitting at the front of train seem not afraid that there can be an accident in which they might fall on the tracks and the train might crush them.
SUCH TRAIN TRAINS ARE NEEDED REQUIRED IN NORTHEAST NORTHEASTERN PART O INDIA. INDIA,, ,,

Wonderful capture!! How many day you took to complete this project?
I was on the railway for 3 days.

Gana Yaad AA Gaya mere sapno ki Rani kab aayegi tu
Good nice
Very much
Impressive videoing which brings back lovely memories of my visit in Nov 2016 with my late brother.
It seems the Old Cart Road is devoid of all the traffic which existed in my visit in Nov 2016 which makes it much more pleasant a watch. Compare with our videos at A44488
That Train Looks Like Pramath In The 2013 Disney Movie, Planes.
Sir, any idea about the total distance from end to end? Also, in yet another video, I think I have seen three bogies and not two, as can be seen here. Am I right? Thanks
Hi, the line is 55 miles/88 km in length from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling. I am not sure about three bogies, sorry I cannot help with that.
I want to meet darjeeling at once..
Call her to your place or fix an appointment n meet her.

Wrong Darjeeling, buddy. This is the place and the railway, not the anime character.
Can you upload the Doordarshan DHR documentary with music
Thank you
PLEASE no music ! Love the naturally occurring sounds
