Himalayan Queen - First Class - Rains
Kalka - Shimla Railway的点评
点评：We took the Himalayan Queen from Kalka to Shimla. It left Kalka on time and reached Shimla exactly on time, with two short halts on the way. We went in early July - the off season due to the rains - and the first class compartment was about 70% occupied. The ticket checker was vigilant and de-boarded a couple of folks who did not have tickets.
The journey itself was pleasant. The first class has more legroom and chairs that are somewhat reclined and broader-backed. There are no luggage racks, but ample space to stow a carry-on or backpack at your feet or on unoccupied seats. No air conditioning - but we did not need it as just opening the windows allowed us to enjoy the cool air outside, and take some nice photographs. While we got seats facing away from the direction of travel, I found it easy enough to occasionally turn around on my seat and take in the views.
Another feature of the first-class compartment is the toilet – small, but clean enough, according to my teenage daughter. To be safe, we had carried some wet wipes, a roll of toilet paper, and a sanitizing spray.
One can get food at the two station stops or at Kalka - but I would not recommend it, for hygiene and taste reasons. We did get some canned soft drinks and a bottle of water. A vendor got onto our coach towards the second half, and we ordered a fresh-cut cucumber seasoned with salt and pepper. That was more tasty than the cooked food we ordered on the way.

翻译：我们乘坐喜马拉雅皇后号列车从卡尔卡前往西姆拉。列车准时从卡尔卡出发，并准时抵达西姆拉，途中短暂停留两次。我们七月初出发——由于雨季，当时是淡季——头等车厢的上座率大约为七成。检票员很警惕，让几个没有票的乘客下了车。
旅途本身很愉快。头等车厢的腿部空间更大，座椅也更倾斜，靠背也更宽。车厢没有行李架，但有足够的空间将随身行李或背包放在脚边或空位上。车厢没有空调——但我们不需要，只要打开车窗就能享受外面的凉爽空气，拍一些漂亮的照片。虽然我们的座位背对着行车方向，但我还是觉得偶尔转身欣赏风景很容易。
头等车厢的另一个特色是卫生间——据我十几岁的女儿说，卫生间虽然不大，但还算干净。为了安全起见，我们带了一些湿巾、一卷卫生纸和一瓶消毒喷雾。
可以在两个车站或卡尔卡站买到食物——但出于卫生和口味方面的考虑，我不推荐这样做。我们买了一些罐装软饮料和一瓶水。快到下半程时，一个小贩上了我们的车，我们点了一份用盐和胡椒调味的新鲜切好的黄瓜。这比我们在路上点的熟食好吃多了。
