At the Kurseong station, trains have to reverse before moving forward. Kurseong at 4,783 ft is 32 km from Darjeeling. Here the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway track shares the narrow Hill Cart Road with taxis and pedestrians. It is not uncommon to find a train stuck in a traffic jam in Kurseong bazaar.
