Neral-Matheran toy train service resumes after 4-month Monsoon break

Mumbai, Oct 30 (UNI) The much-loved Neral-Matheran heritage toy train has resumed operations after a four-month monsoon suspension, bringing relief and excitement to tourists and providing a fresh boost to tourism-related businesses in the hill station in Raigad district of Maharashtra.
The service was formally restarted from Neral railway station, marking the end of the seasonal disruption that had kept one of Maharashtra's most popular tourist attractions off the tracks during the rainy months.
The Central Railway had suspended the narrow-gauge service during the monsoon as a precautionary measure in view of the difficult terrain, heavy rainfall and the possibility of landslides along the railway route. The seasonal closure also allows railway authorities to undertake essential track maintenance and safety-related work.
