Ooty Station. This Bio Diesel engine train runs between Ooty and Conoor.

Mettupalaiyam – Ooty – It was in 1854, that the first plans were made to build a mountain Railway from Mettupalaiyam to the Nilgiri Hills. But it took the decision-makers 45 years to cut through the bureaucratic red tape and complete the construction and installation of the line.

Conoor Station. The train takes an hour to reach Conoor from Ooty


This is a steam engine train that runs between Mettupalaiyam and Conoor
