From the
Himalayas in the north to the Nilgiris in the south - for a hundred years these
little trains have climbed through the clouds and into the wonderful world of
Indian Hill Railways.
The Nilgiri
Mountain Railway is a romantic line, popular with honeymooners and driven by
love and devotion as well as steam. It chugs through the south Indian jungle up
to a hill station, once known as Snooty Ooty.
The current
guard is Ivan. Married for twenty years, he is concerned about his friend
Jenni, the ticket inspector, because he's still a bachelor - but Jenni has a
secret.
In the
engine shed, Shivani, the railway's first female diesel engineer, is working on
a steam loco. She has to make it look its best, as in the year of filming,
1999, the railway celebrated its centenary. The high point is the Black Beauty
competition to pick the best engine on the line, but rains and landslides
threaten the proceedings and the tourist business. Will love win out in the
end?
Grateful thanks to BBC FOUR, TRAINS UNLIMITED !!! and YouTube and all the others who made this video possible
