Sukna Station

This attractive gabled and half-timbered building has a good photographic display and some small artefacts on its upper floor. Ask the Stationmaster for admission.

 Kurseong Station

There is a museum of interesting and well-preserved artefacts on the station platform. Admission tickets ( 10/-) are available from the booking office.

Ghum Station

Situated both in the upper storey of Ghum Station building and in the area previously occupied by the goods and locomotive sheds is a display of DHR-related items, collected together immediately following World Heritage inscription in 1999. For those taking the 'Joy Train' from Darjeeling, the museum makes an ideal place to visit while waiting for the return journey. Museum admission is included in the 'Joy Train' fare or separate admission tickets ( 20/-) are available from the booking office.

In the outside area

In the outside area are examples of rolling stock, weighing machines etc., together with 'Baby Sivok', which has the appearance of a very small 'B' Class locomotive - although its ancestry is very different. After a spell on a plinth at Siliguri Junction station, it was overhauled at Tindharia in 1999 and is now displayed here.

The coach, No 93, was built at Gorakhpur in 1967/68. As seen today it is an example of the rebuilds to first class done in the 1980s with larger windows and a refitted interior with toilet. It is the last surviving example of this particular type, although other, which have been further rebuilt, are still in service.

Other items of note are three examples of 4-wheel steel vans, the staple of DHR freight stock. Those on display date from the 1940s and are amongst the last survivors of the once large number that were a common sight transporting goods to and from the Plains until freight traffic dwindled away in the 1980s due to road competition.

There is also a small water tank wagon thought to have been built in 1928.

The 4-wheel trolley on display was used for permanent way work. A number are still in service and are much smaller than those that were used for gravity-powered passenger traffic in the early days of operation - impossible now due to the volume of road traffic.

A weighbridge, supplied by Avery of Birmingham UK, was installed at Sukna in the early 1930s to control the weight (and number) of vehicles using the Hill Cart Road in an endeavour to reduce the wear on the road formation, designed as it was for hill carts. It was also to offer some protection for the freight traffic on DHR, vital to the economy of the line, which was being eroded by road competition. There are also two weighing machines used for parcel and goods traffic.
