See the Nilgiri Mountain Steam Railway, in Tamil Nadu, India.
The Journey ends at Coonoor - 28km, 5616ft - main intermediate station on the line to Comatore from Ooty. Coonoor is at the site of the locomotive workshops as well as the top end of the rack rail. Trains must reverse a short distance before continuing their climb to Ooty. It is normal for the locomotive to be changed here with diesel traction being normal for all trains to Ooty, except on this film, which is STEAM!
The journey begins in Ooty (Aka Udagamandalam)
The ride goes through Wellington - 29km, 5804ft
Aruvankadu - 32km, 6144ft
Ketti - 38km, 6864ft
and, Lovedale - 42km, 7694ft
Starting at Ooty - 46km, 7228ft(2200m)
Witness Indian steam, still running today!

  • Man its not Indian steam.Its British engineering masterpiece.The railway and locomotive used still are British ones ,except some new diesel locos.

  • @rathide80 Coimbatore??? or Metupalayam??

  • @darranbt This mountains town is 7500 feet (2286 m) above sea level. The one you saw in SL may be the place called Nuralia. I think it is not that much tall

  • adventurous journey in dreamlike scenery (with some british attributs) and yesterday reported our german TV-station about that line.

  • The rest of the country would be beautiful too if people planted more trees and stopped throwing plastic waste - bottles, bags all over the place to create the unholiest garbage dump everywhere you look.

  • Are you frekin kidding?

  • I travelled on it, So great. Aishwarya rai desert rose best site in youtube.

  • Great work and yes it is a very beautiful country. One does not see that much here in America
