Nilagiri Express to fade from India’s rail history
AP dispatch from Ootacamund notes the Nilagiri Blue Mountain Express, a 28 mile rack railway built in the 19th century to climb to Ooty, faces closure due to rising modernization and passenger decline. It carried British rulers and Maharajas, ran six hours for 28 miles, with no major accidents in 70 years, but now deemed uneconomical as Ooty loses status as Madras summer capital.

He cited former conservative figures Hertzog and Stolberg returning to the mainstream while warning against plans for a purified new Afrikaner party. Observers warn deeper splits may reemerge as editorials note a credibility gap with Vorster.
