Isitimela esityebileyo sokudlala idonsa iinqwelo zemisonto eluhlaza kunye neengqamlezo ngeefestile ezinkulu.
Iinkalo zoThutho
I-Nilgiri yeTrama yeThala ivela eMettupalayam ukuya e-Udagamandalam (Ooty), ngeCoonoor, kwiiNilgiri kwiiNtaba zaseTamil Nadu. Yiyo kuphela imitha yokulinganisa, umzila wesitimela eNdiya. Eyaziwa nangokuthi njengendlela yomzila wendlela, unomzila ophakathi owenziwe ngodonga owenza i-pinion kwi-locomotive. Oku kunikeza umzila wokuqhuba uloliwe ukuba lukhuphuke. (Kubonakala ukuba yindlela ehambileyo e-Asia, ikhula ukusuka kuma-1,069 ukuya kwii-7,228 ngeenyawo ngaphezu kolwandle lolwandle).
Umzila wesitimela usebenzisa kakhulu iinqwelo ze-X Class selow locomotives. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ii-locomotives zamashishini ezinamalahle ezitshitshiswe ngamashishini atyunjwe ngamashishini atsha. Oku kwakuyimfuneko ngenxa yeengqungquthela zobugcisa eziphindaphindiweyo, iingxaki zokufumana amalahle enomgangatho, kunye nomngcipheko wokubangela ukuba umlilo usehlathini.

Isithuthi sesine songezwa kwisitimela ngo-2016, ngenxa yokufuna ngokukhawuleza. Isitimela sisencwadini ngokukhawuleza nangona, ngokukodwa ehlobo.
Umqhubi omdala uhamba ngeepesenti ezingama-30 kwiklasi yesibili kunye ne-205 rupees kwiklasi yokuqala, enye indlela. Umrhumo oqhelekileyo ongagqitywanga u-15 uhamba ngeendlela enye.
Nceda uqaphele ukuba loo ndawo ithola imvula evela kumzantsi-ntshona-ntshona nakuma-mpuma-mpuma-mpuma , kwaye oku kuphazamisa iinkonzo.

Kucwangcisiwe ukuba usuke eMettupalayam ngo-9: 10 ekuseni uze ufike kwiConoror ngo-12: 30 ntambama, kunye nokuyeka kwiKallar ne-Hillgrove. Kwinqanaba lokubuyela, liya kushiya iCoonoor ngo-1.30 ntambama uze ufike eMettupalayam ngo-4.20
Isitimela siya kuba neeklasi ezimbini zokuqala kunye neeklasi enye yesibini. Yilungele ukuhlawula ngaphezu kwesitimela sokudlala! Amathikiti eklasini yokuqala axabisa ama-rupi angu-1,100 abantu abadala kunye nama-rupie angama-650 kubantwana. Iklasi ye sibini ixabisa ama-rupee ama-800 kubantu abadala kunye nama-rupee angama-500 kubantwana. Isikiti samkelekileyo, isikhumbuzo, kunye nokuhlaziya ziya kunikwa kwibhodi.
Indlela yokuKhusela

Isitimela sigcwalisa iinyanga ngaphambi kwezi zihlandlo.
Nantsi indlela yokwenza ukubhuka kwiwebhusayithi ye-Indian Railways . Ikhowudi yesitishi seMetpapalayam yi-MTP, kunye ne-Udagamandalam (Ooty) i-UAM.
