Darjeeling Himalayan Railway's Steam Engines Turn 125

The steam engine-hauled narrow-gauge railway known as the toy train or Darjeeling Himalayan Railway travels from New Jalpaiguri near Siliguri to Darjeeling. Through its journey it climbs nearly 2200 metres as the vintage British-built B-Class steam locomotives are deployed on the heritage services. These steam engines that have been around since the early 1990s are perhaps the oldest surviving locomotives in India and have turned 125 this year.
