Sep 19: The Darjeeling Limited (2007) dir. Wes Anderson
In a New York Post piece in 2008, Gretchen Kelly referred to the film 'The Darjeeling Limited' by Wes Anderson, in a piece where she explores his inspirations.
The flick: “The Darjeeling Limited”
Director Wes Anderson recreated his own train, loosely based on the real Darjeeling-Himalayan Railway “Toy Train.”
He shot the entire flick in Jodhpur, rather than Darjeeling, in sites he fell in love with while watching Satyajit Ray’s classic films shot in the same locations.
Recreate your own sensual and spiritual Indian journey with a trip on either the very luxurious Palace on Wheels or the original Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
The Palace is ultra-luxe (and ultra-expensive) and travels through very now, very colorful Rajasthan, stopping along the way for side trips to palaces and other scenic sites (palaceonwheels.net).
The Darjeeling Himalayan has two- to six-hour journeys thorough India’s famed tea country, all of them in original 1890s railway cars that have recently been restored. The train is also designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

As with other of Wes Anderson's films, this is a delight.
