    You’re a trooper for doing the exercise & dealing with the bugs for us, Kuga!🤣 the view was stunning and so peaceful since it’s isolated. I would conquer my fear of heights for that view. Thank you for your hard work, I can’t wait to see more from you. Best of wishes🥰

    When you said a 9% gradient I knew it had to use a Rack System, because the steepest normal train railways almost never exceed 3.9%
    I've seen those type of trains in Switzerland.

    Those views. Amazing. I've never seen such blue water. The last view was well worth the hike, and I thank you. The steam train was amazing too. Not even a boar-headed man, lol.
    Edit: your videos always have the best scenery in them.
