Matheran Hill Railway May Get Hydrogen-Powered Heritage Train

Matheran Hill Railway May Get Hydrogen-Powered Heritage Train

The Matheran Hill Railway in India might get a special train that runs on hydrogen instead of diesel.

This is part of a plan to make trains cleaner and more eco-friendly.

The train would look like the old steam trains but would not pollute the air.

It would only release water vapor.

The railway is in a special forest area and is on a list to be a World Heritage site.

The plan is still being discussed, and there is no date set for when this might happen.

The goal is to keep the train's historic look while making it better for the environment.
