The Nilagiri Passenger from Mettupalayam with just three carriages hesitatingly chugs into Coonoor 18 minutes ahead of schedule. It is seen halting and rolling back at the level-crossing gate owing to a slight loss of power during the changeover from rack to adhesion line at this point.
The train is pushed uphill by a vintage Swiss-built (1952) steam engine, 37386 X, converted from coal to oil-firing in April 2011, at Golden Rock, Tiruchirapally. In this video, the sound of a YDM-4 diesel loco of the train which had just arrived from Udagamandalam (or Ooty) to Coonoor is also audible.
