Remarks & Notes |
The X class is a metre gauge 0-8-2T rack and pinion compound locomotive used by the Nilgiri Mountain Railway in the Nilgiri Hills of southern India. They are used on the 28-kilometre-long (17 mi) section between Coonoor and Mettupalayam, where the steepest gradient is 1 in 12.5. The railway uses the Abt system on these steep sections. The X37385 is preserved at the National Rail Museum in Delhi. |
