Crossing another train at the end of a 100 year old viaduct on India’s Shimla Toy Train is certainly an experience!
There is no power along the line so no electric signals - drivers use a staff - essentially a key - to ensure there is no other train on a section of track. There is one key per section and it has to be on a train for that train to proceed!
On the way up and down the hill from the plains to Himalayan Shimla the train ascends over 2,000m, passes through 102 tunnels, over ~870 bridges and stops at more than 20 stations!! .

The person who initially wrote the now very famous quote about the journey being more beautiful than the destination definitely took the Toy Train from Ooty to Coonoor! :P
Ooty to Coonoor Toy Train, covering a distance of 19kms offered the most spectacular scenery along it’s way. Moving through lush green tea estates,thick forests, tall eucalyptus trees and lofty mountains, it provided a once in a lifetime of a railway journey.
The Nilgiri Mountain Railways has been connecting people of the hills to the plains and is recognized as World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Tip: If you ever plan to take a train ride, book the tickets 2-3 months in advance for first and second class. For general seats, go to the station 1.5-2hrs earlier than the train timing to get the seats. ♂️
Pro Tip: If you’re traveling from Ooty to Coonoor, sit on the right side window to get a good view.

The only impossible journey is the one you never begin. ⬇️

Darjeeling is a town in India's West Bengal state, in the Himalayan foothills. Once a summer resort for the British Raj elite, it remains the terminus of the narrow-gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, or “Toy Train,” completed in 1881. It's famed for the distinctive black tea grown on plantations that dot its surrounding slopes. Its backdrop is Mt. Kanchenjunga, among the world’s highest peaks.
