The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is a railway in Tamil Nadu in India, built by the British in year 1908, and was initially operated by the Madras Railway , UNESCO as  added the Nilgiri Mountain Railway as an extension to the World Heritage Site of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the site then became known as "Mountain Railways of India

Mettupalayam-Ooty-Coonor:

Coonoor is on the corner of the Nilgiri plateau and about 6,000 meters above sea level. Coonoor was the terminus for the Nilgiri from the last 8 years. The government made the expansion of Coonoor to Ootacamund and this line became functional on 15 September 1908. This line is widely used and many passengers and can travel easily through it.
 

 

 

Main Feature
Single rack of the system was the most important feature of this line. He was quoted in the report of Sir Guilford Molesworth s L.: "The engine that runs on Abt system has two distinct functions: first drive by the union as normal crazy and the second is the haulage pinion.

There are 4 out some of brakes including 2 hand brakes work by friction and the other 2 that act by activating the free air exhaust and air compression engine slows progress. The former are used to maneuver, while the latter are used to descend vertical gradients. One of the hand brakes are supposed to act on the tires that are put on wheels in the usual way and the second which acts on the grooved surface of the pinion shaft. This can be used anywhere where you put the grid down. The brake system Nilgiri locomotives is very complicated, even after hundreds of years as it was in 1886.

It takes 17 hours to reach Chennai by train Metupalaiyam. The expenses of this trip is around Rs 20 first class. Left more than 33 miles can be vertical mountain climbing another 20 rupees. For this, the tongas can be taken and heavy luggage can be sent by a bullock cart. The best choice here was to take a horse and make arrangements for the baggage that can be made by individual companies baggage.

 

 The current scenario
At the present time, Ootacamund travelers leaving the station in Chennai at 9.00 pm and reach Mettupalaiyam at 7.10 am, having completed a 10 hour trip. There is no cross-platform to join the meter-gauge train leaving the station at 7.25 am. The train arrives at Udagamandalam am to 11.40 am The Nilgiri Railway (NMR) is one of the achievements of engineers. 

Though feeder bus is one option that has been tested with less success, the Delhi Metro feels battery-run e-rickshaws will help ferry people from their homes to stations which are either far away or located at a not-so-walkable distance.

To test waters, the Delhi Metro wants to introduce the e-rickshaws as pilot project at Chhatrapur Metro Station from where these vehicles would ferry people from home and back.

The Delhi Metro has invited Expression Of Interest from interested agencies which had similar work experience and are well-versed with the guidelines issued by “UTTIPEC” on a model of design, build, own, operate & transfer system (DBOOT) for operation of e-rickshaw.

DMRC will be providing only area for construction of infrastructure and selected operator will make his own arrangement for electricity for charging of batteries of e-rickshaw, the document says.
