Black Beauty Up Close
Details
The X class steam locomotives that power trains between the stretch of
Coonoor to Mettupalayam of Nilgiri Mountain Railway are wonderful
machines which are kept running by equally wonderful technicians of
Indian Railways who work diligently at the steam loco workshop at
Coonoor. Unlike the Light and Sound shows at various archaeological
sites, watching these beauties is a Sight and Sound show. Mechanical
engineering at its best ! Any youngster who watches these Swiss origin
machines up close is bound to be inspired to be a fine mechanical
engineer or a technician.
