The Kalka-Shimla Railway

From the Himalayas in the north to the Nilgiris in the south - for a hundred years these little trains have climbed through the clouds and into the wonderful world of Indian hill railways. Shimla was once the summer capital of the Raj. They built churches, schools, a town hall and the railway and left behind their symbols of empire and an ethos of duty, loyalty and ambition - but they also left a divided subcontinent. Characters featured include Maqsood, a refugee and a porter from Kashmir, and John Whitmarsh-Knight, a teacher looking for a home. Sanjay the station master is hoping for promotion and his boss Bataljit is waiting for a transfer, but everybody is waiting for the snow.

Riding the Kalka-Shimla Toy Train, Indian Himalaya Adventure

A segment of the Kalka-Shimla Toy Train filmed by Jess and Brodie on our August 2010 adventures through India. We rode the Kalka-Shimla Toy Train on our way up to Dharamsala. It was a long day! We woke up in a guest house in the small town of Kalka at 4:00am, hit the train station, boarded, and road this UNESCO narrow-gauge heritage train system up to the mountain town of Shimla before hiring a driver for the 9 hour journey to Dharamsala and McLeod Ganj, high in the Himalayan foothills. It was an amazing day in our adventure through India!!
