Darjeeling Himalayan Railway

The DHR is one of the best known railways in the world. Steam locomotives are used on each end of the line in turn-around service, while diesel locomotives haul trains from end to end. The main road runs next to the railway for most of the way so locals use the bus or jitney services which are faster and probably more comfortable.

Não me canso de assistir

[@bigsteam57]

@steamboy51 The majority of trains are indeed steam powered, but run out and back (turnaround) from each end. The through trains are diesel powered.

Such a wonderful video. The driver is not stuffing around either. He is flying long the line!

Absolutely enthralling. I luv the chickens being chased off the line by the steam engine, and the closeness of the people to the line. It really belongs to the community. Wonderful!

Thanks for sharing this. Some of the close-ups in this video are going to be great reference for building a model railway inspired by the DHR Toy Train :)

@MachintoshCJ
Many similar railways in Europe were build on roads and in the middle of towns. Mostly narrow gauge railways like this one here.
That was because of three things:
1) Lack of space to build it elsewhere
2) It was cheaper to build it on the streets because the state or the town already owned the area of the street and needn´t buy the land for the tracks from other people.
3) The streets were already leveled and flat and no big earth works needed to be made.

Bellissimo, sembra un tram a vapore dei primi anni del 'Novecento. Fa venire voglia di andare in Thailandia per farci un giretto su..

Narrow Gauge Railway in The Loud House

@MachintoschCJ
(continuing with reply)
When all those narrow gauge lines in Europe were build in the middle or at the side of streets and in the middle of city streets there were no cars.
Those narrow gauge trains had the role of the cars and those narrow gauge lines were everywhere.
Look in a book about your area and you´ll find a narrow gauge train that was build in the beginning partly on the street and in city centers.
If you know history... you´ll know: No idoits build the Darjeeling line.

[@morg52]

I wonder how many crew members fell off of it and got run over by it.

[@gustaveportelance4490]

quite cruel and uncomjfortable for the operators, not enough space, no seats no cab, and heat

[@Stick0413]

Gustave Portelance Then don't work there. That is an option.
