It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. The railway was built between 1898 and 1903 and is one of the steepest railways in the world. It has 96 tunnels and 107 bridges, and climbs 2,000 feet (610 m) in 86 miles (138 km).<\/p>\n<p>The railway was originally powered by steam locomotives, but these were replaced by petrol rail cars in 1911. The petrol rail cars are smaller and lighter than steam locomotives, and they are better able to negotiate the steep gradients of the railway. They are also more efficient, and they produce less pollution.<\/p>\n<p>The petrol rail cars are a popular way to travel between Kalka and Shimla.
