Thanks. I was going to look it up today. I am going to try and build a LEGO version of it. I was unsure if herzog was the manufacturer or the operator. But I figured either was it was a good place to start.
Is there transit on both ends as one of the challenges with rail in NA is once you arrive at your destination, it can be hard to make that last mile or so transit. It also has to be as fast or faster overall than driving and it has to be cheaper as people will just default to cars again. That has been my experience living in cities around the world.
Barog station is indeed one of the gems of the Kalka–Shimla narrow‑gauge railway, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Nestled in the hills of Himachal Pradesh, it’s famous for its dramatic setting: the platforms EZPassNC website curve gracefully right as trains emerge from a long tunnel, creating a striking visual that feels almost cinematic.
The usual politics and indifference: SNCF is unable to create a ticketing system+frontend clean enough that they can fix and integrate easily to sell cross-country tickets (“Une erreur c’est produite” has been the motto of their user frontend for 20 years already), other technical details are even more preposterous:
ÖBB uses a leased Siemens Vectron locomotive for the Nightjet to Brussels, but that option is not open here – France is pretty much the only standard gauge European country where Vectron is not approved to run.
Not really. The speeds of trains is still a major constriction and Indian Railways is a major laggard vis a vis say, China. Sure, some aspects are advancing (electrification for one, 90%+ tracks are electrified) but high speed rail is still in it’s infancy (still under construction with help from Japan).
Beautifully put, Meter Gauge (MG), once a backbone of India’s rail network, now echoes through a handful of heritage lines. While most MG locomotives ran on diesel, a rare few—like the one you’re referencing—stood out as exceptions, possibly Official Login Page steam or early electrics. These survivors aren’t just machines; they’re living fragments of railway history, quietly resisting obsolescence.
“A-885 ‘Hasang’ — Smallest steam locomotive ever used in Indian sub-continent. Built by W.G. Bagnall Ltd, Castle Engg Works, Stafford, UK, in the year 1897. This 0-4-0 narrow-gauge locomotive spent its working life in the Ledo Coal Mines in Assam”
