Locos moved by road... so more trains at Darjeeling

摘要

From August 6, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) narrow gauge line - operated by Indian Railways - introduced an enhanced timetable for the upper section of the line between Darjeeling and Kurseong. The move follows the transfer by road to Darjeeling of B Class steam locos 788 and 802, plus NDM6 dlesel 601 and four carriages. The 55 mile long DHR remains breached by landslips at two locations -leading to the unprecedented movements using lorries.
