EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a scene on the Kalka to Dharampur Railway, nestled in the lower Himalayas of North India during the early 20th century. The railway line, a marvel of engineering at the time, winds its way through the scenic landscape, with the trains making their ascent to higher altitudes. In this image, we see one of the loops, a crucial feature of the railway line that enabled trains to gain the necessary elevation as they climbed the mountainous terrain. The loop, a curved section of track, allowed trains to maintain their momentum and continue their journey upwards, overcoming the steep inclines that would have otherwise proved insurmountable. The railway line, built in the late 19th century, was a vital transport link between the plains of Punjab and the hill stations of the Himalayas. It was a popular destination for tourists and travelers seeking respite from the heat and bustle of the plains. The journey on this railway line was an adventure in itself, with the trains passing through scenic vistas, tunnels, and over bridges, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys below. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the excitement and wonder that travelers must have felt as they embarked on their journey up the Kalka to Dharampur Railway. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers who built the railway line, and the enduring allure of the Himalayas that continues to draw visitors from around the world.
