Blue Mountain Scenic Railway - worlds steepest (inclined) Railway

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.

Absolutely nice I remember my first ride back in 2005 when I was 6 it was an amazing experience.

Remember riding this when it was all open carriage, skinned knickles and rocks falling in.

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.

my Pop lived in the Jamison Valley when he was still you look at the 3 sisters, he lived in the clearing you can see way in the Kadumba River flowed not too far away behind the absolutely beautiful down there.

I and my mates went down there in the 1970’s and I am scared of heights the bloke running it said “ if he goes first you all go free “ scariest ride of my life

I think my first visit was about 1963 or 64. My last visit was mid 70s. It has certainly changed a lot since then.

I’ve been there this year it was very steep I had to hold on very tight but it was still fun

Went on this today was raining a lot but was great to experience.

[ofwgktadgaf.]

went on it yesterday, 4 times! up and down, ITS SO GOOD! though i believe the bush/trees have overgrown and you dont really see the 3 sisters now aha

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 😔

Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but this is located in the Blue Mountains WEST of Sydney. I experienced it at least 65 years ago. An amazing experience.

I remember in my time taking the railway that I nearly FELL like fell into the person in front of me because it was so steep, to be honest I think it would be funny if the cars were designed like a bed, so when you enter it’s like sleeping on the floor, snd when you Go down or back up it’s like an elevator ride

[macstyle]

I am sure the one in Switzerland is steeper - towards the end it is just about vertical at 90 degrees.
