Earlier, there were a total of 18 stoppages along the historic Kalka-Shimla railway journey. But now the route has excluded 10 stations, which are Kanoh, Kathleeghat, Shogi, Taradevi, Kathlighat, Kumarhatti, Sanwara, Koti, Gumman, and Taksal.
The running time between Shimla and Kalka now has been reduced from 5.17 hours to 4.51 hours. This new route is on a trial basis, and the railway authorities plan to evaluate the results before making further decisions.
