These locomotives give NMR a distinct charm, taking scores of passengers to Coonoor and Udhagamandalam, crossing 45.8 kilometres (28 mi), 108 curves, 16 tunnels and 250 bridges. </p><p>The steam locomotives can be used on any part of the line, while the diesel locomotives can operate only on the section between <a href="/wiki/Coonoor_railway_station" title="Coonoor railway station">Coonoor</a> and <a href="/wiki/Udagamandalam" class="mw-redirect" title="Udagamandalam">Udagamandalam</a>. </p><p>Each diesel engine weighs a little over 50 tonnes and cost Rs. 10 crore.

The arrival of the new engines eliminated the disruptions in service that occurred frequently. </p><p>The steam locomotives are marshalled at the downhill (Mettupalayam) end of the train.
