Matheran Hill Railway is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway in Maharashtra, India. The railways comes under the administration of the Central Railways. The railway covers a distance of 21 km, over large swathes of forest territory connecting Neral to Matheran in the Western Ghats. UNESCO is considering giving world heritage status to matheran light railway.
HISTORY
The Neral-Matheran Light Railway was built between 1901 and 1907 by Abdul Hussein Adamjee Peerbhoy, financed by his father, Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy at a cost of ₹16 lakh (US$25,000). Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy visited Matheran often and wanted to build a railway to make it easier to get there. Hussain's plans for the Matheran Hill Railway were formulated in 1900 and construction started in 1904. Consulting engineer was Everard Calthrop of Barsi Light Railway fame. The line was open to traffic by 1907. Originally, the tracks were laid with 30 lb/yd (14.9 kg/m) rails but now has 42 lb/yd (20.8 kg/m) rails. Ruling gradient is 1:20 (5%) with tight curves and speeds are limited to 12 km/h (7.5 mph).
The railway was closed by flood damage during 2005 and was not expected to re-open before April 2007. Contrary to those expectations, the first run on the repaired railway was on 5 March 2007. The line observed its centenary on 15 April 2007.
Train services were suspended during the monsoon season from June to October because of the danger of landslides. During the 2012 monsoon season, CR conducted tests of the air brakes, and after receiving approval from the Commission of Railway Safety, ran the train during the monsoon for the first time. CR plans to shorten the period during which services are suspended by suspending services only from July 15 and restarting them on October 1.
In November 2012, CR added a special coach called a saloon to trains operating on the line. The saloons feature cushioned sofas and LCD screens showing images from outside the train. Earlier, these saloons were available only to railway officers.
ROUTE DESCRIPTION
Neral, the starting point, is about midway between Mumbai and Pune. The 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge line runs parallel to the BG line to the west of Hardal Hill and then turns east to ascend towards Matheran. The rail alignment and the roadway meet near Jumappati and meet again, after a brief separation, at Bhekra Khud. Following a small level stretch, there is a sharp ascent just before Mount Barry. A large horseshoe embankment was built to avoid a reversing station here. The line runs for a mile or so northwards around this and then turns around to take the 'One kiss Tunnel' through the embankment. Two more zig-zags through deep cuttings remain before Panorama Point is reached, and then the line bends back to Simpson's Tank and terminates at Matheran.
Neral also has a 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) (Indian gauge) station which is on the busy Mumbai-Pune route. It takes approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to complete the 21 km journey. CR plans to reduce this to 1 hour 30 minutes.
LOCOMOTIVES
STEAM LOCOMOTIVES
Consulting engineer Everard Calthrop designed a 0-6-0T with Klein-Linder locomotives articulated coupled axles to provide a flexible wheelbase, and four were supplied by Orenstein & Koppel. They ran from the railway's opening in 1907 till 1982, when they were replaced by diesel engines. By 1983, all steam locomotives were phased out. A 'B' class loco #794 from the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway was transferred to the Neral-Matheran line in 2001 to test the feasibility of steam excursions.
DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES
In the year 1956 seven Diesel locomotives started their service, of which four were taken from Kalka Shimla Railway Line.

Rio de ladeiras
Civilizações encruzilhadas
Cada ribanceira é uma nação
À sua maneira
Com ladrão
Lavadeiras, honra, tradição
Fronteiras, munição pesada
São Sebastião crivado
Nublai minha visão
Na noite da grande
Fogueira desvairada
Quero ver a Mangueira
Derradeira estação
Quero ouvir sua batucada, ai, ai
Rio do lado sem beira
Cidadãos
Inteiramente loucos
Com carradas de razão
À sua maneira
De calção
Com bandeiras sem explicação
Carreiras de paixão danada
São Sebastião crivado
Nublai minha visão
Na noite da grande
Fogueira desvairada
Quero ver a Mangueira
Derradeira estação
Quero ouvir sua batucada

This is a photograph from a set of photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2018 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 29th June 2018. This superb road race is now firmly established again as one of the fastest and best organised road races of its kind in Leinster. The race follows a left handed course around a well known local walking route around Laragh and in the closing kilometer runs parallel to the Royal Canal into the finish at the railway station in the town having started at the primary school close to the St. Coca's running track. In fact for several hundred meters after the 4KM marker towards the finish the course runs parallel with the railway, canal and the R148 between Kilcock and Maynooth. This geographic feature is one of only a small number towns with this parallel configuration in all of Europe.One of the usual features of tonight's race was the recording breaking air temperatures experienced. During this week Ireland has experienced actual heatwave conditions. It is fair to say that temperatures tonight on the course were around mid 20 degrees Celsius. This weather will certainly live long in the memory of any one who participated tonight. The race has had 'good' weather and 'great' weather before but nothing on this scale.
The members of St. Coca's AC and the many volunteers from the local community must be given great praise for organising another fantastic night of racing for runners, joggers, and walkers. The 5KM course is very flat with the exception of short incline up a motorway overpass and makes its way along narrow country lanes sheltered on either side by hedgerows. These roads offer a great contrast from the urban population of Kilcock which has grown as a satellite town of the greater Dublin area. The very hot summer evening made for an enjoyable night for everyone with a large crowd gathering at the finish to cheer on participants. Refreshments and prize awards were held in the Gaelscoil near to both the race start and close to the St. Coca's running track. Running clubs and groups from all over Leinster and beyond were represented in the race tonight.

The video traces parallels between divination rituals and predictive analytics. It explores their respective poetics, politics and aesthetics, and their inscribed notions of time and power. Blurred, superimposed and homogenized images play on apophenia and pattern recognition as their dominant mode of perception. A text, partly cut-up, partly written, partly AI-generated, stitches together diverging narratives, contradicting arguments and counter-intuitive references into an essayistic whole, suggesting causalities due to its linearity.
