TOY TRAIN OOTY
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR) IS A 1,000 mm meter gauge railway in Tamil Nadu, India, built by the British in 1908, and is operated by the Southern Railways.NMR is the only rack railway in India.The railway relies on its fleet of steam locomotives, For the past several years diesel locomotives have taken over from steam on the section between Connor and Udhagamandalam. Local people and tourists have led a campaign to return to the use of steam locomotives in this section.
In July 2005, UNESCO added the Nilgiri Mountain Railway as an extension to the World Heritage Site of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the site then became known as mountain railways of India.The Nilgiri Mountain Railway toy train is the highlight of a visit to the popular hill settlement of Ooty, in India's southern state of Tamil Nadu.Established in the early 19th Century by the British as the summer heat.
Although the railway was proposed in 1854, it wasn't complete until 1908 as the rocky terrain and thickly forested hills made the work difficult.An additional train service sometimes runs during the peak summer tourist season from April to June.
