"The ever-charming - Nilgiri Mountain Railway," the Union Minister captioned the post, which suits the 45.8 km train ride from Mettupalayam to Ooty in Tamil Nadu. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is one of the oldest rail networks in the world. In 1899, the train network was opened and was operated by the Madras Railway under an agreement with the British Government, making it a heritage train ride.
