Wellington railway station - but not the one you think

This is on a metre-gauge mountain railway in Tamil Nadu, India, a pic from Google Earth.  Some info about the railway here

On the same railway was this tunnel, named after the place in England where King John was made to sign the Magna Carta in 1215 (one of the earliest examples of people expressing their disatisfaction with dictatorship).  Obviously the railway was originally equipped with a cog wheel operation, which it still is.
