The June 1922 issue of The Railway Magazine celebrated its Silver Jubilee with a number of articles making comparisons between the railway scene in 1897 and that of 1922 or thereabouts.

In celebrating its Silver Jubilee, The Railway Magazine was also offering, in its June 1922 edition, its 300th number.

Some East Indian Railway branches and the Kalka to Simla Narrow Gauge Line.

A further article about the East Indian Railway appeared in the July 1906 edition of The Railway Magazine - written again by G. Huddleston, C.I.E.

Huddleston looks at a number of different sections of the network and after looking at what he has to say about each we will endeavour to follow those railway routes as they appear in the 21st century. We will go into quite a bit of detail on the journey along the Kalka to Shimla narrow-gauge line. The featured image at the head of this post was taken at Taradevi Railway Station on the Kalka to Shimla line, © GNU Free Documentation Licence Version 1.2.
