A narrow-gauge train travels through a forested area, featuring locomotive number 501. The NDM-1 locomotive is painted in vibrant green and yellow colors with red accents. Its boxy, vintage design is typical of many mountain railway engines, optimized for narrow tracks. Tall, dense trees provide shade and an atmospheric backdrop, creating a contrast to the bright colors of the train. The track is small and winding, indicative of a hill railway. Passengers can be seen peeking out of the train windows. The Matheran Hill Railway (MHR) is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow-gauge heritage railway in Maharashtra, India, which is administered by the Central Railway. It covers a distance of 21 km (13 mi), cutting a swathe through forest and connecting Neral to Matheran in the Western Ghats. The MHR is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
