Udhagamandalam: Train services on the Ooty-Coonoor section of the landslide-hit Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR) are likely to be resumed early next week. This was indicated by railway officials after a successful trial run of a diesel locomotive weighing about 85 tonnes and two coaches weighing about 12 tonnes each on a 200 metre temporary bridge near Aruvankadu on Friday. Stating that it was one of the parts which had been very badly damaged by the recent landslides, the sources said that three girders measuring 60 feet each had to be used to carry out the temporary repairs. Pointing out that in all probability the services on the section would resume on January 5,they said that permanent repair works would commence simultaneously. Efforts were also on to throw open the Coonoor-Mettupalayam section as early as possible.
