Coonoor Railway Station is a major halt on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, the UNESCO listed mountain railway that climbs from Mettupalayam to Ooty. The station keeps colonial era character, with heritage coaches and the rack section that lets trains tackle steep Nilgiri gradients. Travelers ride the toy train for the scenery as much as for transport, or simply watch arrivals and departures from the platform. Book seats in advance in peak season, especially for the steam haul stretches.
