STEAM TO JANAKPURDHAM
Tipong Coal Mine is located in Northeast India, on the border with Burma,
and for the moment runs the oldest steam locomotive in regular service in
the world, and a Darjeeling B class.Living on borrowed time, this 2 foot
gauge railway takes coal from the mine through the jungle to a truck loading
facility. Far from tourist destinations, this seldom visited little line is
full of charm and character! As soon as they have the money, two bridges
will be rebuilt, the coal will move by truck and this delightful little
railway will die. The Janakpur Railway runs from Jaynagar, India to
Janakpurdham, Nepal. This 2' 6" gauge line has now dieselized, but we
rode and taped a chartered steam train, with an 0-6-2 Hunswell Clarke
side tank, built in 1930. We were only allowed to stay in Nepal for one
night because of terrorists! The festival of Rama Sita was going on in
Janakpurdham during our visit, and there were thousands of people on the
station waiting for the diesel train, many of them rode on the roof and
sides, and on flat cars on our chartered train. Runby's, the ride from
the train (and the roof) and a look at the people. An entertaining look
at a charming little railway!
