World's Most EXTREME Railways

its Whitehorse in Yukon

This was utterly boring, nothing scary or frightening or risky, actually never saw anything to make this worth watching 8min later off skip, like I said boring

Kumamoto means fire vagina in Swahili

The pilatus railway reminds me of the Snowdon Mountain Railway, but instead of a eletric engine, its a STEAM engine.

you know the average tourist, and possibly those living there would know nothing about the tracks trains are running on. Possibly ignorance is bliss

there is nothing like the sound of a steam train.

First of all there's not a guard rail that could hold one of those trains from falling

The clash of elements forms a mesmerizing tapestry that celebrates life’s wild spirit.

The energy in these moments transforms fear into deep, reflective wonder.

Devon and Cornwall are regions in southwestern England, not citys.

By the way I am bitish

I meant wave

Bro I've been to dawlish and I got hit by a save but it wasn't that bad

Not really extreme, but I live outside the eastern Arizona railroad which is the steepest freight railway in America

“Standard” gauge is 4’8 1/2” not 4’8” 😃

Ya'll need to visit MY railway, it's a rather eventful life here

Pity about the unnecessary "cameos" by Mr Bean and co.

Hello, thank you for the very interesting video, well done! I greatly enjoyed it.

Lmbo ill walk thank you very much 😂

Dear Sir, Thanks a lot for this wonderful and knowledgeable video. Please look into a minor correction required. The Indian Railway route from Hassan to Mangalore showcases a waterfall called "Dudhsagar falls". Please note that while the Hassan Mangalore route has many tiny waterfalls, the majestic Dudhsagar falls come in the Londa - Vasco d Gama Railway line up in Northern Karnataka - Goa and not in the Hassan Mangalore route

Devon and Cornwall are NOT cities.

In the Pilatus railway clip, did anyone else notice the creepy giant person grim reaper thing walking close to the tracks? It was right after he says the train cars are shaped to the landscape. Then as the train takes off there is a dude in some robe on the left. Like he is going to intercept the train on the tracks. Or am I nuts.

Boring.

What about the snowdon mountain railway in Wales

What you call "the Bergen line" is not what you show on the map. Your map shows what is known as "Sørlandsbanen" = "The southern line" as your map shows, this is mostly a low land route, not far from the coast. What is more - the last 25% of the line drawing doesn't exist. The line ends at the city of Stavanger. There is no line from Stavanger to Bergen.
The Bergen line stretches across the Hardangervidda mountain plateau in a more direct east to west direction.
This is LOUSY research!

Extremely frosty temperatures of 15 fahrenheit😂 that’s when I start using jacket.

We rode the Copper Canyon railway in Mexico, which starts at Los Mochis on the western coast and climbs over the continental divide to end eventually at Chihuahua. It runs along a river and then starts climbing along the sides of a canyon, crossing 37 bridges and going through through 86 tunnels in total. At one point the train is climbing on the right side of the canyon, then crosses a 200' high bridge over the river, then doubles back on the other side, still climbing, then enters the longest tunnel, over a mile long, that does a 180° switchback *inside the mountain*, exiting hundreds of feet higher than the tunnel entrance, then continues, still climbing on the left side before entering another tunnel that goes right through the ridge to the other side. And you're not even there yet.

At the peak of the route you're at 7900 feet and you can finally see the main canyon. We got off there and stayed in a hotel perched on the rim of the canyon, which is longer and deeper than the Grand Canyon. The Copper Canyon is the home of the Tarahumara Indians, famed for their long distance runners. Not surprising, since they actually live in the Canyon and travel all through it by running on narrow tracks than crisscross up and down everywhere. We watched one of the Tarahumarans for 15 minutes as he jogged on a path toward us then climbed up a weathered wood ladder to where we were having lunch. He was wearing sandals made from leather straps and rubber soles salvaged from tire treads, and he couldn't have been less than 70 years old, and he wasn't even out of breath. At nearly 8,000 feet altitude.

That was the most spectacular train trip I've ever taken.

Never mind Japan. The SPS Western line across Baluchistan skirts Koh-e-Taftan an active fumarolic volcano. Two tracks are laid a mile apart to cope with the lava flows (when one is blocked they use the other one).

Great video with lots of really cool trains. I don't know if I'd go on some of them.

I like trains

The structure of all of them are amazing but I can't go ride on any of them

Ohhh the insanity !!!

The most northernly travel route of the gold rush was from Skagway Alaska to WHITEHORSE Yukon (not WHITEHOUSE)

thumbs down only for inserting little cartoon pictures to be funny

Not even if they paid me

I didn't see the train that goes to the ocean on top if you're going to show something on the front of a video then show that

the guardrails would not save you if the Train derailed

❤❤❤❤❤

5:43 cursed car horn LOL

The picture this channel put up with the train heading into the ocean, obviously Photoshop, tells me that this channel will exagerate any "facts".
So for that reason, I'm out. Unlike and unsubscribe. 👎

It occurs to me I have been on three of these - the Georgetown Loop, Bergen-Oslo and the Devon coastal rote. The Bergen line has another defense - much of the route is through avalanche shelters. Unfortunately these rather spoint the view for travellers!

Literally none of these are extreme.

Not to quibble come up with standard gauge is 4 feet 8 1/2 inches wide, not 4 feet 8 inches wide.

It's amazing

All the train lines were awesome. But all the talk about no guard rails and hazardous conditions was nauseating. There was adequate safety design in all the railroad lines, if you know what you are looking at. All of those trains maintain regular schedules with no shortage of passengers. Otherwise those trains would not be operating.

Fricken narator is chickensh@t funny!
