  2. It is a beautiful journey though picturesque country.

    Not really a toy train.

    It has a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge railway along a mostly mountainous route.

    The Kalka Shimla Railway runs through 103 tunnels, the line has 864 bridges... The railway has a ruling gradient of 1 in 25 or 4%. It has 919 curves, the sharpest being 48 degrees (a radius of 37.47 m or 122.93 feet). Climbing from 656 meters (2,152 ft), the line terminates at an elevation of 2,076 meters (6,811 ft) at Shimla.
