Matheran Railway Station is the upper terminus of the Matheran Hill Railway (MHR). It is the fifth and last station of the narrow gauge line.
The station is at an elevation of approximately 2625feet in the Western Ghats.[1] As no automobiles are allowed in Matheran it provides the sole mechanised means of transport, the alternative being walking or horseback from the previous station,[2] some 3 km distant.[3], with trains to Neral suspended.[4]
The Station buildings, depot and railway infrastructure at Matheran are all mentioned in the UNESCO nomination tentative list for the Matheran Light Railway.[5] No. 741, an ML class steam locomotive that originally worked the line is preserved on a plinth at Matheran station. An old bell dated 1907 hangs outside the station office. It has the inscriptions: 'J.Warner London | 1907'
