If one word could be used to describe the damage caused to the Neral-Matheran section due to the devastating rains of last year, HAVOC!! could be it. Just one look at this pic and it says it all. A track hangs from thin air due to a heavy landslide which destroyed it completely. The damage stated at about 1.5 kms away from Jhummapatti station towards Matheran. 26-01-2006

Work has been completed till about 1 km ahead of Jhummapatti Station. From there, there till the point where we trekked, about 3 kms ahead of Jhummpatti, there was almost no track existant. The locals informed us that the damage beyond that point was more or less as extensive as the ones we saw. Trial runs are being counducted at random intervals on the tracks till Jhummapatti.
