Book excerpt: This book is a tribute to the relentless campaign by railway enthusiasts and the public of the Nilgiri Hills to keep the beautiful engineering marvel in running condition. Their untiring effort continues to this day, and it is largely due to this, that the unique railway was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on July 15, 2005. This is a rare compilation of published materials on NMR, analyzed and written in eloquent English, which will interest anyone who likes the NMR or people’s initiatives to propel such actions to save the unique lifeline from oblivion. The book serves as an almanac on Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR) with the events chronologically arranged to depict the true picture and more so the public opinion which helped to thwart the Government’s moves to close the line. ~ The New Indian Express
