In 1878, Franklin Prestage of the Eastern Bengal Railway, had a vision to build a rail link between the hills of Darjeeling and the plains. He pointed out how a railway could substantially reduce the cost of transporting tea and rice.

It is about 88 km and climbs from about 100 metres above sea level at New Jalpaiguri to about 2,200 metres at Darjeeling.

Six diesel locomotives handle most of the service, with daily tourist trains from Darjeeling to Ghum, which is India’s highest railway.
