Coonoor Railway Station

Coonoor Railway Station Like all pretty railway stations of Nilgiri Mountain Railway , Coonoor railway station is no exception. The heritage structure seems to be in good shape and the presence of steam locomotive workshop ensures activity throughout the day with lots of steam, smoke and sound in the air.

Steam locomotive at Coonoor Loco Workshop I spent several hours on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway.
