Nilagiri Steam Engine

Just some facts:

This engine drives one of the steepest trains in the world,it has declared as a world heritage by the UN guys. The train shuttles bw Metupallayam to Ooty.

It seems that diesel engine doesn;t have enough power to drive the steep train so a old steam engine is still being used.
