The cantonment's own halt on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, and the point every distance on the Wellington page is measured from, because the town has no bus stand at all. It sits above the rack: the toothed third rail that hauls the train up the gorge ends at Coonoor, so everything through this single platform runs on plain track, and the station opened in 1908 with the extension to Udhagamandalam rather than with the line itself in 1899 — the barracks below it were forty-eight years old before the train arrived.

A garrison club that dates itself from the brick cricket pavilion put up for the troops in 1873, though it only took the name Wellington Gymkhana in 1916, and it now runs an eighteen-hole hill golf course at about six thousand feet. Its own history records a race course here before Ooty's longer track was built, nine-hole golf, polo and rugby by the 1930s, its first Indian member in 1943, and the fact that the whole club stands on military land and pays a yearly rent to the Defence Department.
