The popular and prestigious Neral-Matheran toy train has made a remarkable comeback during this year’s Diwali.
The Neral-Matheran toy train, which is more than 100 years old, is one among the few mountain trains in India.
Nestled in the Sahyadri ranges of Western Ghats, Matheran, located in the Raigad district, is an eco-sensitive region and is Asia’s only automobile-free hill station.
Among the attractions here is the Neral–Matheran Narrow Gauge Railway.
The Central Railway (CR) had to shut the services between Neral and Matheran—a distance of around 21 kms—because heavy rains destroyed the tracks in 2019.
