March 1907 to enable visitors to avoid the heat of Mumbai area and escape to
Matheran (elevation 803.98 m). It is still extensively used for this purpose
today. There is also a heritage steam train services available for chartered
train operation. Trains are run at a maximum speed of 20 kmph but on
the sharp curves, their speed may be restricted to 8 kmph.
