NMR 37398, Coonoor 8.11.2013
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway... On the way downhill from Ooty to Mettupalayam, our train stopped in Coonoor. The diesel engine was taken of, and this Swiss built, Indian rebuilt, steam engine was put in front of the train. The steam engines use a rack and pinion system because of the steep grades between Coonoor and Mettupalayam.
