Climbing the magnificently engineered Sonwara loop onboard 52453 KLK SML Express. Image from google maps of the Sonwara loop is attached for a reference as what the Sonwara loop is. The train ascends in a zig-zag pattern due to the height of the terrain.

This was even my first experience travelling in North India after I came into my senses. Occasionally, I'll be posting images of my journey in 52453 Kalka Shimla Express in this blog in the form of a thread (don't know for how many days will this thread continue :P). To begin with, I'm posting the train board of 52451/52452 Shivalik Deluxe Express in the next reply.
Obviously, loco pics won't be here as there's a glitch because of which loco pics can't be added through replies.

the whole route is an engineering marvel and one of the wonders of Railfan World. It was a bliss for me to enjoy the Shivalik Range with Indian Railways (KSR)
