STILL OFF-TOPIC more narrow gauge photos from India

Michael C.
 

Dear all,

I have been going through my Indian railway photographs and have uploaded a couple more collections to Flickr.

This is my last trip on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway:

And this is my first collection from the 2'6" gauge Kalka to Shimla railway:

Take a look if you are interested.

Cheers,

Michael Chapman

Dear all,

On the 23rd February I travelled from Delhi Cantt to Rewari in India behind a broad (5'6") gauge WP class 4-6-2.

At Rewari there is a steam locomotive depot where broad and metre gauge locomotives are stored.

I have uploaded a collection of images to Flickr.

Please visit: https://www.flickr.com/photos/55958391@N07/albums/72157677477799787

But only if you're interested - as this is rather off-topic!

Sorry, me again.

Here is another Darjeeling album.

This one gives the viewer a quick look round the town of Darjeeling and a trip on the Joy Train to Batasia Loop and on to Ghum.

On the way back the steam train I was on got stuck behind a diesel hauled train that had derailed in the throat at Darjeeling station!

I shared an album with you from the Flickr app. Check it out:

Dear All,

Last month I travelled on the 'Indian Magic' tour with Darjeeling Tours. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too kind in and around Darjeeling with lots of cloud and fog.

However; I have started to work through the thousands of images I captured and have uploaded some collections to Flickr.

G'day all,

Further to my earlier emails, I have been going through my Indian photographs again.

On the 25th February I was privileged to travel on the 2'6" gauge from Shimla to Kathleeghat behind a steam locomotive.

I have to say the KSR is far superior to the Darjeeling Railway - it has better civil engineering, better signalling, better permanent way, better diesels and when I was there better views!

As a fan of the narrow gauge I have been to various 2'6" sites such as the Sittingbourne and Kemsley and the Welshpool & Llanfair in the UK, and Puffing Billy in Australia; however, the KSR is a different beast and is truly amazing.

The link to the images is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/55958391@N07/albums/72157708034220474

In addition to the railway I have also included several images of the town, shops, monkeys and the view.

Take a look, but only if you are interested.

Cheers,

Michael Chapman
