EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Simla Railway Station in India, circa 1920s. The image captures the historical charm of the colonial-era architecture, as a train approaches, its steam engine billowing smoke against the backdrop of lush green hills. Simla, located in the northern part of India in the present-day state of Himachal Pradesh, was a popular summer retreat for the British Raj elite during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The town's cool climate and picturesque surroundings made it an ideal escape from the sweltering heat of the plains. The Simla-Shimla Railway, also known as the "Toy Train," was built between 1898 and 1903 to connect Simla with the lower plains. The railway line, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, is known for its narrow-gauge tracks and steep gradients, making it a unique and scenic journey. This photograph showcases the railway station at its bustling best, with passengers eagerly awaiting the arrival of the train. The station building, with its red-brick facade and ornate detailing, stands as a testament to the grandeur of the British Raj era. The train, with its gleaming carriages and puffing chimney, adds to the scene's sense of history and nostalgia. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure and the journey was as much a part of the experience as the destination.
