The countryside is breathtaking. I appreciate being able to armchair travel and soak up the energy of a place. It especially means a lot since I’m currently on long term immunosuppressive drugs and have to limit my time outside the house. I will be rewatching many of your videos over the long winter.
Brilliant video. Stunning scenery. One of the best cab rides I've seen for ages. One thing I like so much about this video is to hear the natural sounds and no interruptions from music like some other videos from other people. I can watch these all day.
Again thanks for the ride! I don't think I'll ever get to travel to this wonderful but sadly very much impoverished area, but your multi-camera video gives a very immersive experience.
You make this beautiful part of the world sound like Sub Saharan Africa. This may not be Europe but it is far from being impoverished. People are healthy, happy and self contended. Above all the views are incredible.
@@Keeping_it_reall What a bizarre comment. If you have eyes to see, you can see the exact same poverty as in sub-Saharan Africa (alongside a better-off middle class). Masses of people walk along the tracks because they cannot afford a car or a train ticket. There is a lot of trash (well there was more in the first video near Kalka). I don't know how you can tell that the people are healthy, happy and self-contended, but that's not a negation of poverty, people can be like that even if they have less than a dollar a day to survive, whether in India or sub-Saharan Africa.
Thank you, it's nice to know you found the video informative and interesting. Indian values are very different from much of the western world, you will be hard pressed to find a nation of kinder and more generous people who have a healthy respect for all animals, big or small.
When i was in college I along with my friends used to go to Kasuli via Dharampur on bikes in late nineties...Lot has changed especially the road, now the expressway but the train route is still nostalgic ...
I used to walk across muddy fields to get to school where I'd get told off for having mud on my shoes, I think I would have enjoyed your bike ride to college ... Happy Days. The railway blends in with the scenery, it's going to take a long time for the expressway to blend in, if ever.
Witam, powód, dla którego w ogóle zbudowano kolej, jest fascynujący. Wielka Brytania rządziła Indiami z Kalkuty zimą i Shimli latem, ponieważ w miesiącach letnich w Kalkucie było dla Brytyjczyków zbyt gorąco. Shimla jest nadal bardzo brytyjska, chociaż jedynymi Brytyjczykami, którzy tam dzisiaj są, jest kilku turystów. Indianie zachowali wiele brytyjskich tradycji, takich jak teatr, a dzieci w wieku szkolnym noszą tradycyjne brytyjskie mundurki szkolne, pod wieloma względami Shimla czuje się bardziej brytyjska niż większość współczesnych miast w Wielkiej Brytanii.
Brilliant, Tim. An awesome journey. Initially I wondered why the driver was constantly sounding the horn: then the people were appearing on bends, from bushes & even uniformed school kids ambled out and emerged from tunnels as the rail car approached. Truly life on the edge…. Scary!
Hello Peter, the driver sounded his horn at the whistle signs, while his second man used his horn to warn people and occasionally monkeys that we were coming, between then they made a right old racket. I witnessed Indian chaos on the roads railways and everywhere else and I didn't see one accident, I doubt very much that I could go that long without seeing at least one accident on UK roads.
Hi, it's a pity those tours didn't run, I know how frustrating it can be when for a multitude of reasons tours are unable to go ahead. I hope you enjoyed the video and better luck with future tours 🙂.
@ Hi Tim, not sure if you realised I've changed my TH-cam ID. If you are ever free I would appreciate meeting up to discuss having a TH-cam channel? I will email you in the new year. Best wishes, Graham
@@TheRailwayTourManager Hello Graham, I wasn't sure whether or not it was your channel. I had originally intended to do the India Triangle tour but if disappeared and when this one cropped up it was too good to miss. Once we are into the New Year, I'm sure we can arrange to meet up. I look forward to receiving an Email from you. Happy New Year. Tim.
Hi Tim! Another beautiful and adventurous trip through the jungle👍. At this speed the air filter will fall off the motor hood at some point, grins👌. Best regards from the Mühlviertel, Hans.🍻🇦🇹
Hello Hans, this is one of my all-time favourite rail trips, the views are spectacular, the train is like no other and the Indian people are very friendly. Cheers 🍻Tim.
It gets more amazing, Tim! Everything, from the surveying to the construction to the seemingly immaculate maintenance of the line is impressive. The use of the track as an unofficial pedestrian highway looks dangerous in the extreme, especially since it presumably continues through tunnels and over bridges. It would not surprise me to learn that there is at least the occasional accident along the route. Thank you!
I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. The principle languages spoken in this area of India are English and Hindi, along with a significant minority speaking Punjabi.
Part 3 is almost finished, it should be available at the weekend. Out of interest I listened to I Robot and enjoyed it - th-cam.com/video/vB8dweYCLes/w-d-xo.html Back in the day I was a Pink Floyd fan, I still listen to the Dark Side of the moon occasionally.
Hi Tim, It's more than a journey it's an "ADVENTURE", Have some of the locals got death wishes walking on the tracks & thru the tunnels, Check out our midnight fireworks spectacular on SYD harbour i think 3pm your time happy new year.PS Looking fwd to part3 .👍👍👍👍🍺🍾🍷🥂🍻🎆✨🧨🎊🎉
Hello Robert and Happy New Year. India is a chaotic place yet in the 2.5 weeks I was there I didn't see any accidents, not even on the roads shared with tractors, donkeys, camels, cars, lorries and buses travelling in both directions in both lanes 🥴😵😵💫 Maybe we just worry too much? Best wishes. Tim.
Thanks for the forecast! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I looked online to find information about the railcars, I found plenty of photos and videos, but sadly nothing about the railcars themselves.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Yes, I agree there is little online about them. By chance I have in my possession three books written by a Brighton based author Lawrence (Lorry) Marshall, whom I knew as we were both members of the LCGB Brighton Branch. Lorry was an excellent lecturer and captivated us with his Indian Railways talks which he started documenting in 1970, on his first visit there. Since that time he has been a prolific writer on Indian Railways, writing some three volumes on the subject, Broad gauge, narrow gauge and metre gauge. Having bought these three volumes, as I planned to visit the Kalka to Shimla railway... which I am still planning to do. Sadly, he is no longer with us, his wife predeceased him, and IIRC he passed some 8/10 years ago. Now to try and help you out looking at the Narrow gauge book, Lorry records that the Kalka to Shimla railway had 10 different rail-cars, before WW2; these were: 2 from Lloyd & Plaister (London), 5 from the Drewery Car Co and 1 each from the Sentinel (Steam vehicle), Armstrong Whitworth, and WIckham and Company. Whether or not all these rail-cars are operating on the line I cannot say, but the Wikipedia entry does give details (but you have to dig around for them) of the ZDM and NDM diesel locos that operate on all of the lines. I suspect, and this is only an opinion that Lorry did have some details about the individual rail-cars in his paperwork, I did ask him about this and he said he would search out the info. I will ask another friend who has a greater knowledge of these things to see what he can find. Great video and looking forward to Part 3. Hope this info assists.
@@michaelhearn3052 Thank you for your reply, I have just looked up and ordered the three books you mentioned by Lawrence Marshall, I look forward to receiving them. I was travelling with another author on this tour, Richard Wallace and we were referring to his book "Hill Railways of the Indian Subcontinent" for information and to see how the various railways have or have not changed since he wrote his book. In his book he refers to a number of the railcars used on the line giving a brief history with each photograph. Some of the railcars are still available for charter by interested groups. I believe a couple of the original railcars are preserved at the Delhi National Railway Museum, I will learn more about the museum when I get around to editing and publishing a video featuring many of the Indian NRM exhibits here on TH-cam. The Wikipedia article proved useful when I was writing the video description for this video. I am always pleasantly surprised at the extra information people post in the comments for my videos, it gives both myself and those who read the comments some fascinating insights into various aspects of the trip ranging from the trains and the railway to the landscape and nature seen from the train. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I'm working on Part 3 at the moment and hopefully it should be available next weekend.
@@Timsvideochannel1 Tim, many thanks for your reply, I am glad that you have ordered Lorry Marshall's three books. I too have ordered your friends "Hill Railways of the Indian Subcontinent" book from eBay. A few years ago pre COVID the LCGB ran an Indian Railways tour, which featured the Kalka Shimla line. I believe that one of the Rail-cars was hired for the journey to Shimla. Please keep up your good work.
@@michaelhearn3052 It's nice to have relevant books at hand whilst I'm editing videos. Various holiday companies offer rail based holidays to India and one or two of them use the Railcar, it's a great experience.
Amazing piece of construction work. Also amazing is the reason that it was built. At least the Indian people have a tourist attraction to make some money out of (hopefully). They deserve it., their hard work for poor wages built it.
I agree the railway formation was constructed to a high standard and tourists from all over the world ride the railway although I noticed that most tourists were Indian. The Hill railways of India have been designated World Heritage Sites ensuring funding to keep them operational for the foreseeable future.
To be honest the Indians still hold the British in high regard, pointing out that the longest period of peace in India was under the British Raj and many will point out that Britain gave India its transport infrastructure and parliamentary system, most ex British colonies adopted a similar parliamentary system, simply because it worked and it was what they were used to.
@@Timsvideochannel1 I remember when I moved to Delhi from Jaipur in 1956 and it was such a clean empty city unlike a pigsty it currently is. I think India's population was only around 450 million at that time.
@@victorbar-s5c Jaipur is still a nice city to visit although it is very busy now, Delhi is a place well worth avoiding, although on this trip our tour group stayed in or passed through the city four times to reach the various Hill Railways on our itinerary. I believe India's population is in the region of 1.5 Billion today !!!!
@@Timsvideochannel1 Jaipur is nothing compared to my time there. I remember I was a little boy sitting on my Dad's shoulders and seeing Khrushchev and Bulganin.
I would die there just trying to climb the first flight of stairs. Everyone living there must have legs of steel! I can't climb a normal flight of stairs. Beautiful country but wow is it all steep. I see a 4 story scaffold of concrete and steel and that's just for a dozen car parking spots. Anyone that can make a cheap safe cable car system for those cities and towns would make a bundle of money. Just building that train line is an amazing feat.
As someone who lives in a reasonably flat part of the world, I found walking up the streets in the hill towns really hard work, there is almost no level ground and the streets are so narrow there are few places to park a car. The scenery is stunning, but I don't think there is room on the roads for San Francisco style cable cars although I did come across one aerial ropeway near Darjeeling - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darjeeling_Ropeway
@@Timsvideochannel1 Several south American cities have aerial cable car systems as their major public transport systems. Technically: "rope way" is an ambiguous term since there are two kinds. The term is also used for rope bridge systems. Ditto a cable tram. Only the Americans call San Francisco's system a cable car. The terminology on these things are so messed up. Switzerland has so many aerial cable car systems that there are some towns with no cars at all. They have cargo gondolas on some. Shimla already have a good train line so they don't need a funicular cog rail based train. Good video.
@@hatac I have yet to visit South America, hopefully I'll get there one day. I've travelled on aerial cable cars big and small in Switzerland, some of the small cable cars cross a valley to the railway station so that the children can get to school. Zermatt comes to mind, as a car free town, apart from a few electric vehicles to take people from the main station to nearby hotels. As you point out Shimla is well served by its railway. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Omg 😮 those puppies at 18:50 💔 I hope they all got out of the way 😭 I swear, these countries & their total lack of respect for natural life, I will never get used to or understand them. No wonder it's 2024 & so.e of these countries are so uncivilized 😢
So is the driver supposed to crash the train and potentially kill passengers to save the two puppies. ?? What makes you think that you are more civilised than anyone else ?? Your negativity has damaged your brain, you need help.
The continued swapping between front and rear views makes the journey totally disjointed, making for a nauseating watch, and a equal mockery of the video title. Shaking up video formats is ok if proper oversight of the content is used to maintain a watchable product, I can't see how this has happened.
