Here’s the official information on the Kalka–Shimla–Kalka Summer Special, clarifying that no dedicated special train was listed in 2025:
❌ No dedicated “Summer Special” service (Train Nos. 04505/04506) was operated between Kalka and Shimla during the summer of 2025.
🚂 What actually ran:
- No 04505 / 04506 or similar numbering appeared in the Centralized Summer Special Train List for 2025. ([turn0search8]turn0search8])
- Regular heritage/narrow-gauge services, including Shivalik Deluxe Express (52451/52452), Kalka–Shimla NG Express (52453/52454), and Himalayan Queen Express (52455/52456), ran daily or as weekend specials. These served tourist demand even during peak summer.
([turn0search7]) - Additional holiday/tourist specials (e.g. 52443/52444) continued into early 2025 (e.g. January–February).
([turn0search7]) - Due to maintenance between May 30 – June 12, 2025, several trains terminated at Tara Devi instead of going all the way to Shimla, with official shuttle buses provided on the last leg.

| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Summer Special Train Nos. | 04505 / 04506 — not present in 2025 schedule |

ℹ️ Why This Matters
- Heritage trains fulfill peak demand organically without needing a “special” train number—they were fully booked well into May 2025.
([turn0search7]) - Temporary maintenance led to service truncation—but IRCTC and official platforms arranged alternate bus links.
✅ Planning Tips:
- Book early via IRCTC or PRS for heritage trains, especially during April–May.
- Avoid travel during maintenance window (May 30–June 12)—opt for bus link alternatives if needed.
- Use e‑catering or pack essentials, as onboard services may be unreliable.
