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 🙂
Deceptive Kallar
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.
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
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)
Show Me The Way
An undercarriage Checking area for the Loco and the train as the line is now all clear for the morning trip to paradise
The Final Call
The morning passenger from Mettupalayam to Ooty leaves its doors open and a final call to the passengers to board the train for 5 hours of breathtaking and beautiful scenery.
Thats My Crown
The X Series proudly displays its title, “NILGIRI QUEEN” . Oh Yes sure you are !!!.
The Photogenic Beauty
Photographers, amateurs and hobbyists line up to click this Mountain Queen from all angles. Getting a shot with no or little presence of humans by itself is an achievement.
Oil Lit Lamp Post
I do not know what this is, but must be something special as it has a platform and preserved like a king. Will update once I find out what exactly is this one.
Final Checks
As the dawn breaks, all checked and ready to reverse and get coupled to the NMR toy train for an enjoyable ride in the Nilgiris.
