The Himalayan Queen Express from Shimla en route to Kalka on the World Heritage narrow gauge (2' 6") Kalka Simla Railway (KSR) glides across a tiered brick arch bridge overgrown with weeds on March 30, 2013, just outside Dharampur Himachal station. Note the ZDM-3 diesel locomotive with driving cabs at both ends (built at Parel workshop, Mumbai). The 96-km Kalka-Shimla Railway became a UNESCO World Heritage Site from July 2008. The Kalka-Shimla Railway (KSR) line was opened to traffic on November 9, 1903. During its nearly six hour journey on 96 km narrow gauge route from Kalka to Shimla, the KSR runs through 102 tunnels, many tiered arch-bridges and several picturesque stations like Dharampur, Barog and Solan.
