A view of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, 1912. From "Popular Electricity" magazine, 1912. This is Chunbhati Loop on DHR. Originally it was the third loop on the ascent but due to realignments over the years, it is the first loop currently. The structure seen in the backdrop is an old rest house. The text in the magazine hails the DHR as having one of the most advanced systems of electric lighting and electric fans. It is noted that the electric power for the lights and fans is produced by a generator in a separate van of its own. Scan from the Internet Archive of Book Images.
