The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the DHR or Toy Train, is a 2 ft 610 mm narrow-gauge railway based on zig zag and loop-line technology which runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling in the Indian state of West Bengal. Built between 1879 and 1881, with six zig-zags and five loops, the railway is about 88 km 55 mi long. Its elevation varies from about 100 m 328 ft at New Jalpaiguri to about 2,200 m 7,218 ft at Darjeeling. Although four diesel locomotives handle most scheduled service, the daily tourist trains from Darjeeling to Ghum—India`s highest railway station—and the Red Panda, from Darjeeling to Kurseong and steam-enthusiast specials are hauled by vintage British-built B-Class steam locomotives. The railway`s headquarters are in Kurseong.
