EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of the railway track descending from Ghoom station to Darjeeling, India, dating back to the 1870s, 1880s, or 1890s. The image transports us to an era of colonial grandeur and imperial power, as the British Raj expanded its reach into the remote hills of Darjeeling. The steep cliffside railway track, carved into the mountainside, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the British during this period. The train winds its way down the slope, with the lush green forest and towering mountains in the background. The rocky terrain and stone walls add to the rugged beauty of the landscape, while the trees cling precariously to the side of the mountain. The scene is reminiscent of a summer day in the colonial hill station of Darjeeling, with the clear blue sky and the sun casting dappled light through the trees. The image captures the essence of the early tourism industry in India, as the British sought to escape the heat of the plains and explore the natural beauty of the mountains. The photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of India during the Victorian era. The descending train, with its colonial-era carriages, adds to the nostalgic charm of the image, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure and the world was a much larger place.
