Nilagiri Passenger (Train No. 56136 Down) rushes on its way between Coonoor and Wellington en route toward Ootacamund on August 26, 2014, powered by a YDM-4 No. 6414 bio-diesel locomotive, after a routine change from steam engine to diesel engine on arrival at Coonoor from Mettupalayam. This UNESCO World Heritage mountain railway is now in its 115th year of operation, thanks to the efforts of the citizens of the Nilgiri Hills and rail enthusiasts to keep the railway alive. V.M.Govind Krishnan's book: "NMR [Nilgiri Mountain Railway]-From Lifeline to Oblivion", now available in its Revised Edition documents the efforts of the public to thwart the moves of the Indian government to dismantle this unique rack railway; and to keep this engineering marvel in running condition to this day.
