As a Thai person who has been to both the Railway market and Death railway, both aren't exactly terribly dangerous so long as you're not being stupid. The Death railway bridge in particular gives a splendid view of a nearby river, just don't poke your body OUTSIDE the carriage
Where the person across from you are clipping their toenails, and the person beside you is eating a bucket of chicken and throwing sucked clean bones on the ground.
I've visited the "railroad market" in Thailand, and I can confirm that it is AWESOME! Scary, yes, but awesome! Luckily, the train does not race through, but rather moves slowly, like a grandparent might!
The train in Tibet is the most safe one among those you mentioned. The purpose of adding oxygen is only making passengers feeling comfortable. The train is pretty fast and stable, having beautiful view.
Yes. The only danger in Tibet is being Tibetan. Then you are a second class citizen in your own country, colonized as it is by the Master race, namely the Han Chinese.
We rode the train from Mexico City to Mexicali in 1968. We had a ball! Stops every few miles, buy your food when the train stops and the vendors swarmed. We were both 18 years old.
Note on the Mexican R&R crime advisory. I detect an offensive way of manipulating the info. It has to be noted, that beside the tourist oriented train service, all other trains are cargo / freight. Tourist trains are well respected and generate large income. Crimes are made on the cargo, while passing through remote areas, and where poverty is high, trains are assaulted and cargo containers opened to steal whatever. Army does try to contain, but their aggression is deterred by the women and children, the thieves involve to avoid been shot at. A crime is numbered by container opened, so if train has 12 or 15 containers opened then it has 12 or 15 crimes committed, hence the large amount of statistical numbers. Side note: Actual government is trying to re-establish passenger rail service, with high efficient, well guarded and modernized rail cars. Including sleepers with diner cars, observation, bar and open air cars. Please see: ua-cam.com/video/GvFmpqvuMQU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/wUprF5PZ770/v-deo.html México on it's way to a better existence.
I have ridden several of these roads . I can assure you the WP&Y in Alaska is one of the best ever and hardly a rickety operation as your comment mentioned. I never felt in any "danger". The roadbed is first class ; the cars , locomotives , bridges are all top notch. I guess that old unused bridge that is out of service must have scared you. BTW , The rail line does go from Scagway to WhiteHorse , but the train only goes as far as Carcross , the remainder is intact , but out of service. Cool vid tho'
From what you told us, i would avoid the Mexican ones. I never knew that Mexico is so damn scary from criminals even in the trains. My favourite ones would be the Swiss trains, especially the one that sends you on top of that high moountain.
And steer clear of the New York City subways. Face slashing and pushing onto tracks in front of oncoming trains is up 90%. Like every other day the radio talks about some subway horror story.
I’ve been on the Lynmouth to Lynden rail in Devon U.K. The actual drive to get there was worse as we decided to go over the mountain through Exmoor. The road down to Lynmouth was scary with very little verge and a sheer drop into the sea or on the rocks below. That is one journey I would never do again.
I loved riding the train in Ecuador from Guayaquil to Quito. You have not mentioned the Copper Canyon trains from Chihuahua to Los Mochis. Amazing scenery and numerous hairpin turns where the line crosses over itself a few,times.
Traveling by train in Mexico was limited to immigrants from Central America journeying to the US atop freight trains from the Southern border. They were assaulted in all ways possible during their trek. This stopped in 2018, with the new government. Migrants are now allowed to stay and even work, while they wait for their appointment at the US INS. The only passenger trains remaining were the Tequila Express, a luxury train with a short route, and the Chepe, with one of the most scenic routes in the world, very sought after by international tourists. As of next week, a portion of the Tren Maya from Campeche to Merida, will start working, and days thereafter, the Ferrocarril Transístmico, which will link the Pacific with the Gulf of Mexico across Mexico's narrowest part (Istmo de Tehuantepec). It will have passenger service and it is envisioned to be an alternative to Panama's Canal.
Nah, you talk about Pennsylvania and the Irish rail workers who died, but then you show a photo of Promontory point Utah when the trains met east and west.
Yes, I noticed that as well. The narrator was talking about a rail line built in the 1830's....the golden spike at Promontory Point, Utah was driven in 1869....doesn't even make sense.
Some of these are just tourist attractions and are not "worst" in any sense. If you really mean "worst" as in most dangerous with highest accident and fatality rates, most of these would be in India.
Re: #20, I wonder if the Maeklong Railway Market was the inspiration for the scene in "Shanghai Express". In the movie, the train is slowly travelling through a densely-packed market/urban area. Although in the movie I think they left three or four feet open on either side of the railway, so things wouldn't need to be moved as the train went through.
They made a movie about the rail in Burma. An entire village of local natives died building this bridge. The movie called, “The Bridge on the River Quai,” with William Holden.
@@robertwilliamson922 Burma is Myanmar now, used to be British. Thailand is next door. I would have to research, but remember something like 10,000 villagers were wiped out by the Japanese to build the bridge, which was destroyed in the movie.
@@marionmarino1616 The Death Railway went from Ban Pong, Thailand to Thanbyuzayat, Burma. The “Bridge on the River Kwai” (actually the Khwae Noi River) was, and is….on the Thailand side. Yes, it was destroyed..and then rebuilt. You can go there today and walk across it or take a train across it and visit the cemeteries. The area looks nothing like in the movie. The movie was filmed in Sri Lanka. That’s Hollywood for you. I haven’t been to Sri Lanka yet. But I have been to Thailand twice, and Cambodia once. For a total of six months during two trips.
@@robertwilliamson922 Thanks for the info. I don’t blame Hollywood for its illusions. Here, the basic idea is accurate, and I remember the movie as intense.
@@robertwilliamson922 In fact, the "Kwai Bridge" is actually on the Maeklong River (Thailand) and this section of the river was renamed "Kwai Yai" soon after the book and film came out to encourage tourism.
The bamboo train in Cambodia ,we have it in the Philippines too & the difference is that the one we have in the Phil. is ALL HUMAN POWER ,foot effort,emission free,local transport train
For those who do not know, the images in the part of Mexican trains are of immigrants from Central America. In the southernmost Mexican state, Chiapas, immigrants get on the freight train, nicknamed "la Bestia," because it travels a far distance into México. Their goal is to get to the US, so if they can find an opportunity to get close to the northern states without having to hitchhike or spend money, they will take it.
No. 20 train in mid of fresh market is fun and not dangerous coz the train move slowly while passing the market. No. 19 is the history and convenient to be in Kanchanaburi and has fun with good Thai food.
Nr 5. Is there any particular reason why you included a shot of a Dutch intercity train departing a Dutch station in a video about a Swiss alpine train? Strange.....
I really enjoyed this. I'm terrified of heights, so just one railroad trip where we went over a long section, left me shaking and crying. As a frequent flyer, I love it so much that I'm thrilled to be given a window seat. No fear or claustrophobic reaction. I don't understand that.
For your brain to process height it needs a surrounding visual reference that doesn't happen in an aircraft. Speed is the same, in a car a relatively low speed may seem fast as close by trees on a narrow road pass quickly. An offshore powerboat in still water at 100mph is boringly slow.
Interesting reason that planes don't give you vertigo - the vertiginous feeling needs the 'edge' to create the feeling. On a train the high tracks and bridges give you the edge - similar to the edge of a high roof.
I will definitely avoid train travel in Mexico,, even though what I saw mostly in that segment is freight trains, with people hitching a ride on the sides and the top. As for the others, I think I would enjoy any of them, but especially the ones in Switzerland, which appear to be the most scenic (and possibly the safest, given the reputation of Swiss Engineering!) Thank you for sharing these trips The one journey that I missed in your compilation is the spiral train track in configuration in the Rocky Mountains in southern British Columbia ... though my guess is that it is mainly a freight line, while the passenger line follows the more central route.
There's another funicular railway run on water power in the seaside town of Saltburn, East Yorkshire. Extremely efficient, with two beautifully Victorian counter-balanced cars. There's also another railway that runs through a narrow village shopping street in Taiwan.
A funicular climbs a short, steep grade in downtown Los Angeles. It is (or at least was) called "Angel's Flight". One day a pretty long time ago, I spent the day walking around LA and came upon this funny and kinda fun little railroad. I rode it a bunch of times that day, and it was very inexpensive.
The railroad journey have impressive characteristics because it's users enjoy the natural scenic environment which in most cases are magnificent beautiful creation and at the same time enables one to appreciate railroad contactors skills.Thanks to the brilliant comments and video shooting staff.Keep up the good work ✅💯👏💞!!!
As part of a bucket list , I want to see a steam locomotive in action. It is becoming my experience that the majority of railway tours I have checked into , might well own a steam locomotive , only bring them out on special occasions and use a diesel engine for most tours.
Had the pleasure of travelling the Yukon White Pass in 1967. At the time it was the only land connection to Skagway (unless you liked taking very long walks). A wonderful trip.
That Limon Lynmouth Cliff "train" is more properly called a Funicular and they're all over in places like Switzerland. I've been on the What Pass Yukon Route and it is indeed spectacular.
I have visited some border towns in Mexico and they were scary enough. I wouldn’t go any farther in Mexico, nor would I make use of any of their transportation systems. I will mention that the scary towns I visited was during the early 1960s. I can’t imagine what they would be like today. We parked in the US and walked the two miles into Mexico, and we stayed very close together. We did not eat or drink anything there, but they had beautiful leather and jewelry to buy. We left in plenty of time to walk back to the US before evening.
The train through the market suggests something ,that the people and the train have some sort of cooperation success.Not the ideal thing but better than some other incidents in the world.Lets hope for the best for the future.
I could be wrong, but I believe they filmed a very pivotal scene on that death railway for the movie Casualties of War with Sean Penn and Michael J Fox
I live in New Mexico there scenic railroading in New Mexico and Colorado I've never heard of them being dangerous before that train in the market is crazy they take it slow and the people are used to it that Indian train that supplys oxygen is said to be safe by other sources just because Indian are old or second hand doesn't make them unsafe crossing that ocean bridge might be tricky but people don't seem to scared and the bridge is well made 🤔
I really do enjoy your videos. They are well made and the commentary is usual dead on. And if you want to call yourself "Fancy Banana" I don't have a problem either. However, that stupid comment about that centipede is ridiculous! Why don't you cut that out?
How is the Kurunda Scenic Railway here in Australia one of the 20 worst railway journeys in the world when you talk about the stunning views of the landscape during the journey? 09:14 "Train passes over decidedly spindly looking bridges" however your video doesn't show this at all., looks pretty safe to me. Australia has one on the safest rail networks in the world.
I stop watching after #20, how is it insane or a bad journey? I call it efficiency and a smart way without wasting space and it created some special sight-seeings for the passengers without stopping.
Hi There , Thanks to make up such well documented Fottages !!!! ... i am from Switzerland & i use the LANGWASSER Viaduct for mani Times ... but Check about From the same Railroad Company ( RhB) the Chur _ Arosa Line as well !! 196 Curves . 9 Tunnels & serveral Bridges with one of the Highest in Switzerland ! in a 1h it Climbing 1148 m High up to 1733 meters !! Best Regards Adrian
In the late 70's and the 80's I worked as a brakeman for Burlington Northern. BN along with Union Pacific jointly owned a small mountain railroad in Idaho called the Camas Prairie RR. I bid on and worked the Lewiston to Grangeville run, up one day and back the next. High trestles (railroad bridges) are very common throughout the world. The Camas Prairie, however, still had great wooden (and curved) high trestles which were also on a nearly 3% grade. This railroad has been out of service for nearly four decades, but you can see it in the movie Breakheart Pass.
😐 "hmmm....I think that I'm going to sell tomatoes and spinach on top of the train tracks today. Because THAT particular location seems to be the best choice. I mean.....what could possibly go wrong when put my vegetable stand on top of the train tracks?"
My FIL was a Japanese POW and helped build the Burma railway. He came home a physical wreck - but unlike thousands of others, he did make it home
Amazing, and thank you for sharing this info with us. Btw, I hope he had a good life in spite of this terrible hardship. ❤❤👍👍🙏🙏😊😊

I was on the Lynton and Lynmouth with my daughters just a couple of days ago. Brilliant piece of engineering and not the least bit scary
nah watching a market outside a train window would be incredible. Not for commuting but yes for sightseeing

Also, this line has (still has?) been closed for many years thanks to a land slip which SA Railways couldn't afford to mend.
The Argentine train is in the most danger from rock slides than the scary bridges.
14:00 I think this cliff transportation is quite good, we have one in Vietnam in Ba Na Hills and it’s safe move from town to town.
Ah, tourism. Let's all put our lives on the line, taking plenty of photos. Woohoo!
Nine Arch Railway bridge at Ella in Sri Lanka should include to this list
Pretty cool. Yu should have added the Durango and Silverton RR in Colorado. here are so pretty close to the end tracks.
They don’t include the NYC subway system?!!
The Tibet railway was probably built using local people who were acclimatized to the high altitude and thin atmosphere.
These Mexican trains are now the USA express. Trump 2024 USA President. He is our only hope.
The best is the railway track through a busy Thai market in Bangkok!
😐 "hmmm....I think that I'm going to sell tomatoes and spinach on top of the train tracks today. Because THAT particular location seems to be the best choice. I mean.....what could possibly go wrong when put my vegetable stand on top of the train tracks?"
I would risk one of the Swiss railways. I'm a daredevil.
What word is so heinous & among the 38,000 incidents, that it was bleeped twice? 😮
It's YT censorship, who the f*** knows 😏
I believe it rhymes with the word "girder."
Surprised the train that crosses the Canadian Rockies was not on the list.
I rode the scenic railway once in Australia, it was nice.
Drop the centipede threats, young man.
0:51 from Thailand
2:26 also from Thailand
number 6 is not dangerous but fun.
when will the devs provide our simulation with flying brooms or teleportation that would be so much more fun 💀💀
I've been to the both these places in Thailand ! Yes Japan did work our solders to death!
