The Statesman Kolkata
|April 19, 2025
Amidst the misty hills and scenic beauty of the Eastern Himalayas, Darjeeling's iconic steam locomotive, No. 782B, marked a momentous milestone on Thursday — 125 years of uninterrupted service on the legendary Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR), a UNESCO World Heritage.
A special heritage train, powered by the century-old B Class engine, was ceremoniously flagged off from Ghum — the highest railway station in India — by Dr. C.M. Ramesh, chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways. Chetan Kumar Shrivastava, general manager of Northeast Frontier Railway, and several members of Parliament were present to witness the historic run.
