ANI Darjeeling

After a gap of nearly five years, the toy train service has resumed in West Bengal's Darjeeling.

The toy train 'Queen of Hills' shuttled yesterday between Darjeeling and New Jalpaiguri stations.

The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, consists of 88.48 km of narrow gauge track that connects New Jalpaiguri with Darjeeling, passing through Ghum at an altitude of 2258 meters.

The toy train service was suspended on September 2010, after a landslide destroyed about 600 meters of road and tracks running parallel to it at the Tindharia town of Darjeeling.
