The toy train
When you travel on the toy train in the Nilgiris, the journey is indeed the destination. For this quaint little train that recently chugged into the listing of UNESCOWorld Heritage Sites, brims with raj nostalgia. Built over a century ago, the 40 km track that ducks through 16 tunnels and trundles over 362 bridges, snakes up mountains that are carpeted with virgin forests, rolling meadows and the neat geometric patterns of tea plantations. And if you are lucky, you might even get to see a herd of wild elephants crossing the tracks.
According to Discovery channel, the narrow-gauge track between Mettupalayam and Coonoor is one of the steepest in the world and it was one of the very first railway projects to use the cogwheel to negotiate the incline.
The toy train is a year-round service. It chugs out of Mettupalayam every morning and returns in the evening. Its timings tie in with the overnight NilgirisExpress between Chennai Central Station and Mettupalayum via Coimbatore.
The railways run an additional service between Mettupalayam and Ooty to cope with the summer and Diwali vacations rush.
In addition there are morning and evening shuttle services between Coonoor and Ooty – 19 km apart.
