Romantic Toy Train From Ooty To Ketti - Nilgiri Mountain Railway India Full Video
Romantic Toy Train Journey from Ooty Railway Station to Ketti Railway Station in Tamilnadu, India over Nilgiri Mountain Railway, a UNNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is a railway in Tamil Nadu, India, built by the British in 1908 and was initially operated by the Madras Railway. The railway still relies on its fleet of steam locomotives. NMR comes under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Salem Division. In July 2005, UNESCO 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. After it satisfied the necessary criteria, thus forcing abandonment of the modernization plans. For the past several years diesel locomotives have taken over from steam on the section between Coonoor and Udhagamandalam (Ooty). Local people and tourists have led a demand for steam locos to once again haul this section.
This video of romantic toy train journey from Ooty to Ketti railway station in Tamilnadu, India over Nilgiri Mountain Railway was recorded in the month of May, 2015.

Udhagamandalam (sometimes Ootacamund (About this sound listen (help·info))), sometimes abbreviated Udhagai and better known as Ooty (About this sound listen (help·info)), is a town, a municipality, and the district capital of the Nilgiris district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located 80 km north of Coimbatore. It is a popular hill station located in the Nilgiri Hills. Originally occupied by the Todas, the area came under the rule of the East India Company at the end of the 18th century. Today, the town's economy is based on tourism and agriculture, along with manufacture of medicines and photographic film. The town is connected to the rest of India by road and rail, and its historic sites and natural beauty attract tourists.[4] As of 2011, the town had a population of 88,430.
Ooty is situated deep within the Nilagiri hills (which can be literally translated as The Blue Mountains). It is unknown whether this name arises from the blue smoky haze given off by the eucalyptus trees that cover the area or from the kurunji flower, which blooms every twelve years giving the slopes a bluish tinge.[5] Nilgiris in general was ruled by Ganga kings and later by Hoysala kings, particularly Vishnuvardhana who captured Wynad and Nilgiri area during the 11th century.[8] Tippu Sultan was the first to extend his border by constructing a hideout cave like structure.[9]
It was originally a tribal land and was occupied by the Todas along with other tribes who coexisted through specialisation and trade. The major tribes of Nilagiri area are Todas, Kotas, Badagas and Alu Kurumbas,[10] who settled in and around Ooty. The first reference of Todas in Nilgiri is found in a record dated 1117 A.D.[8] Toda people are known for raising water buffaloes and Badaga people for their farming activities.[9] Frederick Price in his book Ootacamund, A History states that the area called 'Old Ooty' was originally occupied by the Todas. The Todas then handed over that part of the town to John Sullivan, the then Governor of Coimbatore. Sullivan later developed the town and encouraged the establishment of tea, chinchona, and teak trees. Like many of the settlers, Sullivan was highly impressed by the way the tribes cooperated, and sought to maintain this balance. He later campaigned tirelessly to ensure land rights and cultural recognition for these tribes and was financially and socially punished for this by the British Government
