The Matheran Hill Railway continues to remain one of the most popular tourist train services in Maharashtra, earning over Rs 1 crore and ferrying over 1.54 lakh passengers in just five months.

Stating that Matheran is the nearest and the most popular tourist destination for Mumbaikars, Central Railway (CR) Chief Public Relations Officer Shivaji Sutar said “CR, with its shuttle services for passengers between Aman Lodge station and Matheran, has been instrumental in popularising this place as a major tourist destination. In addition to providing a comfortable journey to tourists, these services help in cheap and quick transportation of materials for the local population also.”
