Toy Train
You arrive in Darjeeling either by Jeep and get to the Motor Stand, or by Toy Train as we. The one that runs from Siliguri has a Diesel engine, but the one for the daily tourist-run to Ghoom runs like in old times by coal. Either way, it is very spectacular to see the train on its tiny railtrack driving through the villages on the main road where one minute before, women were sitting and selling stuff on the tracks.
