Résumé : |
In 1854, plans were made to build a mountain railway from Mettupalayam to the Nilgiri Hills. However, it took the decision-makers 45 years to cut through the bureaucratic red tape and complete the construction. The line was completed and opened for traffic in June 1899. It was operated first by the Madras Railway under an agreement with the government.
The Madras Railway Company continued to manage the railway line on behalf of the government for a long time until the South Indian Railway company purchased it. |
