Over a century later, Matheran’s heritage 2-ft narrow gauge railway is getting its own little locomotive maintenance workshop up on the hill. This is done parallelly along with the restoration of the line that has been shut for the past three years.

After being shut down due to rains, work on the Matheran line had been expedited following the disbursal of funds in the railway budget earlier this month. The Central Railway has set a timeline for its completion by December 2022.
