A short video of a late running Nilgiri Passenger # 662 from Mettupalaiyam to Ooty (Udagamandalam) on the World Heritage Nilgiri Mountain Railway, powered by a vintage Swiss steam engine 37391-X. In this video, the train is seen chugging with difficulty toward Coonoor, on the metre gauge rack-railway. Apparently the engine is having some mechanical problem because the train couldn't get a grip on the track and halted shortly after the video was captured on March 23, 2009. This engine was built in 1949 by the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM), Winterthur, and was converted in November 2007 from coal-firing to oil-firing mode at the Golden Rock Workshop of the Southern Railway, at Tiruchirappalli, India.
