The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Society (in the UK) seems to be quite proud that India's DHR has been granted World Heritage Status. Certainly that railway more than deserves all the appropriate accolades under the sun. But Gavin, do you see disadvantages to this situation at the same time? It seems quite significant that the historical locomotives themselves are not included as a part of the designation (for reasons I don't understand). Is that a disadvantage, or a good thing in your point of view?
Thanks for any comments!
