On our ride up to the mountain/resort town of Shimla we took a “rail motor car”. Meaning it was a single car train, acting as its own motor. So we got the front AND the view of the UNESCO stamped railway. The tracks are spaced only 30″ apart and the stations along the way are like stepping back in time.
