One of the most famous toy trains in India is the one
linking the town of New Jalpaiguri in the plains of West Bengal to the lovely
hill station of Darjeeling perched on the awesome Himalayas. With a 2 feet
gauge, the Darjeeling Hill Railways is indeed a 'toy train' being the narrowest
of the regular narrow gauges. The tiny century old engine is a connoisseur's
delight. The 86 km Darjeeling line allows the traveller an uninterrupted
view of the breathtaking scenery of the Himalayas.
