On July 2005, UNESCO added this railway as an extension to the World Heritage Site Of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. After this incident, this railway became known as mountain railways of India. This beautiful railway uses an Abt Rack and Pinion system to climb a steep gradient which is present in between Mettupalayam and Coonoor.

The aesthetic design, the built, the sturdiness of the locomotives are worth a watch!

Driver was very rude, mis-behaving, always tried to escape many locations, put on AC as per his choice even on plain areas, didnt park the car properly in parking, asked us to get down on road instead of parking. I contacted make india journey but there was no positive response from them. Then their channel partner Blessing holidays assured to provide new driver, but ultimately he also raised his hands. So we did not have a comfortable journey. Pls take suitable action.
