The Scenic Railway... in the Blue Mountains West of Sydney. 52 degree incline, the steepest passenger railway in the world.
The Railway experience descends 310 metres through a cliff-side tunnel, emerging into ancient rainforest at the Jamison Valley floor.

I've been there back in 1998. There was no glass top on those cars back then, just a metal grid (IIRC). Nice to see it again. Thanks for uploading.

I rode this on the final day of our Aussie tour in October of 2002. GREAT train ride that scared the hell out of me! But I cannot remember how we got back up to the top, Stairs? LOVED the scenic Blue Mountains!

I remember as a kid I would always go here each year and also when Indiana Jones' theme played I thought it was the Indonesian anthem, despite my Indonesian mum telling me it isn't. Good times.

Wow talk about upgrades. Back in my childhood the sides of it were completely open and they just ran a single chain along it, plus the roof was the kind of mesh you'd get in a mine car. They nerfed the hell out this version 😔

It’s not the steepest railway in the world, that goes to Switzerland which descends at 48 degrees

@PaulDonovan 2 жыл бұрын

The Blue mountain is 52 degrees !! extract from Google: Switzerland may be home to the world’s finest chocolate, but Scenic World in the Blue Mountains still takes the podium as having the world’s steepest passenger railway despite recent efforts to knock Australia off the perch. The Scenic Railway has a long and colourful history dating back to the 1800s coal mining era, but at 52 degrees it still stands as the steepest passenger railway in the world with a whopping 128 per cent incline. Operators across the globe have come within reach of the coveted 52 degree milestone, including a new railway at the Swiss alpine resort of Stoos which ascends at an angle of almost 48 degrees. Covering a distance of 1,738 metres above Lake Lucerne, the Stoos railway is sure to be a crowd pleaser for ski (and apres ski) enthusiasts from near and far. However, at 52 thrilling degrees, the Scenic Railway still takes out the top gong for adventure seekers. While the new Stoos railway may not be the world’s steepest, it is another incredible display of Swiss engineering by one of the world’s leading manufacturers, Garaventa, which designed the new Swiss train along with all Scenic World rides.
