message: I have just added a photo of the Kalka-Shimla Train I took myself several years ago. The photo is old and has the "scanned" look. But I think till the time one of us adds a better picture, we can leave it here. RMehra 16:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the image. Will hopefully have a new pic up next week as I will be visiting Shimla -- Lost 16:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Added infomation on steam locos. Looking forward to info on diesels, and especially on the railcars. This line had a wealth of railcars, of which I know little but would like to learn more.--Michael Johnson 15:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The history section has some error. Something important seems to be missing. I am unable to determine what the original editor intended to say, so I am unable to make a change. Can any one throw some light on this? RMehra 03:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It needs a major revamp. I am unable to devote time here for the past few days. Please go ahead and make major changes. There are lots of links to refer to. -- Lost 04:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

text: This article is the result of a recent merger between two articles, so there is bound to be some problems. Feel free to change or add whatever you want if you have more accurate infomation. --Michael Johnson 07:25, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Greetings, I've added an additional picture of the train en route to Shilma from Solan.  This is my first Wikipedia contribution and if the formatting or placement of the picture should be changed please do so/let me know.
This photo was taken from the train coming up past Solan on the way to Shimla in July of 2000.

Thanks. I've moved it down the page a bit for aesthetic reasons. --Michael Johnson 00:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Where is the Train Pictures ??????? I can only see Engines, some please change them  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toprohan (talk • contribs) 15:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change The pictures 

message: The article had the grade at 4% (I might even have put that there myself). However the "Engineer" article said the grade was 1:33 (3%). I can't imagine why an authoritative journal like Engineer would get that wrong, but they may have. If anybody has a better source for 4% please let us know. --Michael Johnson (talk) 01:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This sentence, as it stands, is extremely POV, and is entirely unsourced. Who was Bhalkoo and what did he do that assisted the construction of the Kalka-Shimla railway? Unless we can answer these questions, preferably with sources, we should delete this sentence. --Michael Johnson (talk) 01:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK I found a source, and have edited Bhalkoo into the engineering section, and deleted the offending sentence. --Michael Johnson (talk) 01:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bhalkoo, the "illiterate genius" had played a vital role in the construction of the Kalka-Shimla rail line 

message: ----
it will be great if someone adds picture of Kalka and Shimla Railway stations.
The Kalka Railway Station's present picture is not that good !

message: Wagons on this line are 30' long and 7' wide, which are long enough for 20' ISO containers, but not wide enough, unless outriggers are provided.  Would the Loading gauge be able to take ISO containers?

message: It is quite normal for long tunnels to be dug from both end, so that is not a "mistake".
Surveyors have a good record of making the two ends of a tunnel dug at both ends meet, with a "error" of only inches.  Spin doctors usually make a point of mentioning such accuracy.
It is not said by how much the Barog was misaligned by.    Tabletop (talk) 00:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
