The Rack and Pinion Gear starts here for the steep ascent.
Welcome To NMR
The real ascend begins here. NMR welcomes you for an enchanting ride to the Blue Mountains
Deceptive Kallar
A green and refreshing Kallar. The NMR passenger stops to get its teeth aligned to the ones on the track. Atleast this should have given us the hint š
Spoilt By Nature
I envy the locals who live here. A wet and lazy saturday morning at a quaint little station with the misty Nilgiris in the background.
Into The Sun
Flaps Set, Bangalore Bound Jet Airways Flight 9W483 all clear to enter the Runway 27 for a direct takeoff into the Setting Sun over the Arabian Sea
Chennai Summer
The Indian Flag gently flutters , courtesy a gentle sea breeze on a warm summer night in Chennai. Shot from the departure area of Chennai Domestic Airport with the Tirusulam hills in the background and an almost ready Metro waiting to get operational
Ready To Roll
X Series 37391 freshly POH’ed and ready to be re-commissioned, waiting for someone to lay her down on the tracks
Careful WAPPIE
Says the doggy as it waits for the P7 to complete its shunting activities. It needs to cross the tracks to visit the museum
The P7 Badminton Saga
Now with the X Series out of the way, P7 starts it shunting activities to get the Coimbatore bound passenger onto the platform. The entire train cannot be shunted in one go as the yard is not big enough to handle such a large rake. So the P7 will get one half out of the yard, reverse and couple the rest of the rake and get the whole rake into the platform. It was interesting to watch the shunting LP’s getting trained on a P7
And The Fun Begins
Hooting and puffing and crawling out of Mettupalayam, The X Series loco pushes a train full of passengers, who have brought out their child within and cameras as they prepare for an exciting and delightful experience on the UNESCO heritage NMR (Nilgiri Mountain Railway)
