Five steam locomotives parked in the Darjeeling Train Yard (India)

Of those five steam engines (in this photo), three were in working order and two were undergoing maintenance. More steam locomotives are located in other stations on the line and in the Tindharia workshop.

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, locally known as the "Toy Train", is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling (India). It is still operated by vintage British-built B Class steam locomotives. Operations between Siliguri and Kurseong have been temporarily suspended since 2010 following a Landslide at Tindharia (view photos of the landslide).
