The Central Railway has announced the resumption of the iconic Neral–Matheran toy train service from 6 November 2025. This comes following a four-month monsoon suspension. The resumption will reconnect one of Maharashtra’s most celebrated hill stations with the plains. The latest development, which sees the re-opening of this narrow-gauge heritage, ensures the return of sustainable, low-impact travel to one of the oldest eco-sensitive hill destinations in the country.
