I wonder if you can help? A few years ago I watched a British TV programme called Indian Railways. The train in this case was the “toy train” from Kalka to Simla and was largely about the station master’s hopes for promotion and severalothers connected directly or indirectly with the station.
I was very taken by the programme and swore that one day I would take the train and hopefully meet Sanjay the station master and his wife. I am finally about to come to India and the number one place on my list is Simla.
I know they live in Summerhill. How do you think would be the best way to try to get in touch? I have no e-mail for the station directly. Would an old fashioned letter to the station be the best idea and if so I wonder if you would be good enough to let me know the address? The date I am thinking of will be around the 27th/28th February.
Thank you in advance for your help and I very much enjoyed your article. I too am a writer with several books to my credit two of which have become best-sellers in Spain.

I boarded the Himalayan Queen last week (kalka to Shimla) after having thought of taking a toy-train-ride many many times before (i’m from Himachal).. glad i did!

When the Dhauladhars’ are accumulating snow for long winters.
