Today, we remember Sir Mark Tully, a legendary journalist, a devoted “rail-fan,” and a champion of the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. 🚂

Through his books, essays, and films, he gave his untiring effort to preserving the magic of Indian Steam. His journey may have reached its final station, but his voice remains etched in the hills of Darjeeling.

Farewell to a true friend of the DHR. 🙏🚂
