A narrow-gauge NDM-1 locomotive, numbered 501, rests at a station platform surrounded by passengers. The engine features a prominent front grille and colorful bodywork. Several people stand nearby, with some carrying bags. The railway tracks run alongside a sunlit, tree-covered area. Shade from large trees creates patterns on the ground. The scene captures a mix of traditional rail transport and natural surroundings, likely part of the Matheran Hill Railway. 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.
