Kashmir Railway

The Kashmir Railway is a rail transport system running through the remote Pir Panjal mountain range of Nepal.[1] It is known to employ passenger trains, with at least one route leading through the Himalayan tunnel,[2] a narrow, arched passageway spanning one edge of a mountain to the other.
History
One locomotive, Pramath, joined the Kashmir Railway in pursuit of a remote location for quiet work and residence. He found his journeys peaceful and therapeutic.[1]
During the fourth Wings Around the Globe Rally, rookie Dusty Crophopper encountered a railway line while traversing from India to Nepal. Entering a brick tunnel, Crophopper noticed the lights of an oncoming passenger train, that of Pramath; switching to full speed, the crop-duster managed to exit and pull sharply upward, narrowly avoiding a head-on collision.[3]
