This is one of the very famous trekking spot around Bangalore. Lot of people come here for trekking. Though there is not much of trekking :P as the whole story is about walking on the railway tracks and crossing long tunnels and bridges which seems to be exiting and adventurous only in the beginning. The track is surrounded by the thick forest.
I personally did not like the trek as walking on the track is difficult (probably only in the beginning) and you can't enjoy the valleys, possible sitings of any animals (if you are very lucky), local flora and the nature as a whole, because you have to keep starring at the track (there are no side paths etc etc...) to walk if you don't want injure yourself :P.
Walking on the track sleepers is also painful as the whole foot will not get accommodated on the sleepers and the toe will suffer a lot, walking on the rock (Track ballast technically) is also not a very good idea. So better wear good shoes with good tough and thick soul.
Don't forget:

Don't forget:
- Torch : Very important to carry to cross the tunnel. Tunnels are long and inside, it is jet black dark.
- Salt: Yes there are leeches on the track :)
