Hill Trains Various Locations Among India's hill resorts are several made especially famous by the historic "toy trains" that ferry resort guests. Worthy adventures in their own rites: restored steam engines straddle narrow-gauge trackways as they haul antique cars along scenic hill climbs. Indian Railway operates four historic "toy" or "hill" trains. They run from Kalka to the Himalyan retreat at Shimla; from Mettupalayam to Ooty in the Nilgiri Mountains; from Neral to Mathern; and -- the most famous -- from New Jalpaiguri to the Himalyan hill station at Darjeeling.
