Most Amazing 9 Train Railways

 1. Maeklong Market Railway (Thailand)

The Food Market in Maeklong, Thailand is located on Top of Train Tracks. Several times a day shopkeepers swiftly pack up their Food Stalls and pull back their Canopies to let the Trains Pass. Once the Trains have rumbled through, the crates of vegetables, fish, and eggs are placed back into position and shoppers return to the Tracks, which serve as a path through The Market.

2. Napier-Gisborne Railway (New Zealand)

The Napier to Gisborne Railway Line is Unique in that it crosses the main Runway of the Gisborne Airport. Trains have to stop and seek clearance from The Air Traffic Control Tower to cross The Runway and continue down the line; a 1939 Steam Train in the middle of An Airport Runway isn't exactly a common sight!

3. Tren A Las Nubes - Train to the Clouds (Argentina)

The Tren A Las Nubes (Train to the Clouds) is a Touristic Train Service in Salta Province, Argentina. The service runs along the eastern part of the C-14 line of the Ferrocarril General Manuel Belgrano, connecting the Argentine Northwest with the Chilean Border in the Andes Mountain Range.

4. Tunnel of Love (Ukraine)

The Tunnel of Love is a Beautiful Spot in Klevan, Ukraine. A 3-Kilometer Railway Section leads to The Fiber Board Factory. The Train runs 3 times a day and delivers wood to the Factory.

6. The Landwasser Viaduct (Switzerland)

Switzerland has Large Areas of Land that are Mountainous. Before the 19th Century, The Mountainous Terrain meant that it was difficult to travel across the Country and consequently communication was relatively poor. Swiss Railway Engineers of the 19th and 20th Centuries had to be extremely innovative, imaginative and courageous to build a Complex and Efficient Mountain Railway System. This not only included planning and building difficult Mountain Routes, but also constructing the many Bridges and Tunnels needed to cross and go under Mountainous Areas. The Swiss are still investing heavily in their Railway Network, making it one of The Most Efficient and advanced in the World.

One of the most impressive feats was the building of the Landwasser Viaduct, built in 1902, which carries A Mountain Railway Track. This is possibly one of The Most Famous Railway Bridges in The World and is seen in most Swiss Travel and Holiday Brochures.

7. Georgetown Loop Railroad (USA)

The Georgetown Loop Railroad was one of Colorado's Ist Visitor Attractions. Completed in 1884, this Spectacular Stretch of 3-Foot Narrow Gauge Track was considered an Engineering Marvel of its Time.

The Thriving Mining Towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie 2-miles apart in a steep, narrow mountain canyon. To connect them, the Railroad's Builders designed a “Corkscrew” Route that traveled twice the distance, slowly gaining more than 600 feet in elevation. It included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4%, and 4 bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil's Gate High Bridge. The Colorado & Southern Railway operated the line for passengers and freight from 1899 to 1938, when it was abandoned.

The Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway, is a 415 kilometer (258 mile) railway between Bangkok, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. More than 90,000 workers and 16,000 Allied Prisoners of war died during the construction of this Railway, a horrific episode that forms the backdrop for David Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai. A Ride on a surviving section of the route is now a popular activity for visitors to Kanchanaburi, which is northwest of the Thai Capital. The Train hugs the sides of sheer cliffs and passes over a number of Rickety Wooden Bridges.
