Indian Rail - A Nostalgia

I was reading this page when my mind went back in the memory lane about my own observations attached to Indian railways. If observed, the Indian railway stations tell a lot about the history and cultures of the place. Many of the Indian rail stations still have the old buildings, truly the historical monuments.

I will not write much here, will just give some pictures to refresh your own nostalgic memories with Indian railways.

Howrah Junction - Bengali, colonial.

The Charbag station of Lucknow is architecture similar to a palace of a Nawab.

The Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai, is built in Gothic-Saracenic style

The 75 years old Thiruvanathapuram station is a pleasant combination of light and steel gray.

Thivim Railway Station (Near Goa)


Shimla Kalka Toy Train



Darjeeling Toy Train






Two kilometers from Darjeeling is the town of Ghoom which is the highest railway station in the world. It also has a monastery and is definitely worth a visit to all those visiting Darjeeling.
