    Good news for tourists as iconic Matheran-Neral mini toy train resumes

    Bringing much joy to the tourists, services of the iconic Matheran-Neral mini toy train resumed after a short break in the monsoon season. The train, with a history of over 150 years covers around 20 kilometres of journey, offering people a scenic route through the small hill station. Swapnil Nila, the Chief Public Relations Officer (CRPO) of Central Railways said that the train was stopped on June 8th because of the monsoon season and was started on November 6. The train reportedly transports 600-700 passengers on average every day. This toy train starts from Neral and ends at Matheran and takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete. The elevation starts from 40 meters above sea level and then steadily climbs to 850 meters at Matheran. The train usually runs twice from Neral to Matheran from Monday to Friday and offers six shuttle services from Aman Lodge to Matheran.
