India 2012 _ Nilgiri Mountain Railway_Pt 1

Описание: Film by J. Martin Warr of an absorbing run up the 45km Nilgiri rack railway from Mettupalaiyam to 'Ooty' in Southern India in 2012 as part of the Railway Touring Company's tour. I was able to film from the front of the train alongside the train's crew with the steam loco pushing at the rear. At Conoor Junction the motive power was changed to diesel for the final 19km to 'Ooty' which is not rack-assisted. ~ Magical scenery and an unrivalled vantage point.
