Siliguri to Rongtong-New route for toy trains

Darjeeling Himalayan Railways(DHR) has come up with a new concept. From Sunday it has started toy trains from Siliguri which would go to Rongtong and would again come back. From Siliguri, everyday it will start at 3pm and would reach at 4pm and after spending some time there it would come back at 6pm to Siliguri.Toy train is always an attraction to tourists and to make the visit to Darjeeling more charming this innovative thing has been ideated. To add more, evening snacks and hot coffee would also be served. To enjoy the evening beauty in the lap of hills, with a cup of hot coffee is a heavenly feeling. The North Eastern Frontier Railways’ Kathihar divisional manager, Chandraprakash Gupta inaugurated the first journey of this toy train waving a flag. The first day there were eight tourists. The DHR has decided to take further if positive response is achieved from tourists’ side. The alpha line to start this project is to promote the heritage of DHR.
