Hill Trains in India
Hill Trains in India is a railway tracks that ascends and descends a mountain slope that has a steep grade. Hill Trains in India commonly have a narrow gauge to allow for tight curves in the track and reduce tunnel size and structure gauge, and hence construction cost and effort. The Darjeeling Railway is a marvel of sorts in what one would call non-engineering. It uses neither rack mechanism nor cable as other mountain railways do, but moves only on adhesion. The Darjeeling railway long before even the railways themselves woke up to it.
