Nilgiri Mountain Railway holds the title of being 'India's slowest train.'
The train travels at 9 kmph, making it 16 times slower than India's fastest trains.
At an average speed of 9 kmph, this train takes five hours to cover a distance of 46 kilometres.
However, the train travels from Mettupalayam to Ooty, journeying through picturesque landscapes that include dense forests, waterfalls, and more than 250 bridges before arriving at its destination.
The train was established in the early 1900s and is also labelled as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is also known as the "Toy Train."
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway also moves slowly due to the route's steep gradient of the Nilgiri hills, which ascends from Mettupalayam at the foothills of the Nilgiris to the hilly town of Ooty.
