Working on this railway has got to be considered one of the world's "perfect" jobs. You're up there in that beautiful forest, the train doesn't go too fast, and the cargo doesn't seem too overbearing and cumbersome. Almost like a Pettycoat Junction way of life.

[@sweatshopjesus]

Feels like I'm lying on a couch, which I am, but that the couch is bolted on to the back of the train, all healthy and safe, and I've no fear or danger of falling off, no more than I do now. The frontwards facing one also but the backwards facing one soothed moreso. I think, on viewing further, hence the edit, that what it is is that the frontwards facing sections were thrilling and promising whereas the backwards facing sections left one with a feeling of nostalgia for the moment one is in. But yeah, even a bucket seat gaffa taped on to the back with your legs dangling, some manner of seatbelt arrangement, again gaffa tape would suffice. Guerilla Glue. I don't have a Degree in Moon.

Trees with yellow labels indicate a potential risk of falling. Although they are not in immediate danger, you still need to pay attention to them

Hello. So nice video , I liked this video very much as I love nature and train in nature maybe more fantastic and awesome . The speed of the train and the clean breeze of the nature and the greenery is so good 👍😀 I liked it very much. Remind you, that it's very difficult to make trains in forests, so we should appreciate their hard work 🎉👍👏. I would like to travel in such train. By the way where is this train found? Whoever knows pls tell me.

[@fpk1234]

This train is in Alishan Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan.

[@orgcoast5990]

Very interesting. My first visit to Taiwan. Great looking forest. I'm curious as to the function of the middle rail. Is it a helper for the curves?

[@fpk1234]

Thanks for your watching and appreciation 😊😊😊
That rail is called a "guard-rail", and its function is to hold the wheels in a curved section to prevent the train from derailing.

[@jan-akemagnusson4559]

Wonderful video! But one would like to see how the train looks like, what kind of locomotive

It’s no problem. That is the indicator light of the level crossing, which is shown to the driver of the locomotive behind (the locomotive pushes train at the end of the train). When the interceptor pole of the level crossing is lowered, the light will turn green.

Interesting about these small railways...what is the cargo and where do they go and come from?And where is this forest?

[@fpk1234]

Thanks for your watching. The train carried sand, gravel and cement for civil engineering. At first, this train was an empty train from Alishan Station to Erwanping(二萬平). The train loaded sand, gravel and cement at Erwanping and then went to 62.5K near the 1st Switch. Finally, the empty train returned to Alishan Station. This is what you see in the video. This forest is located in Alishan Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan 🇹🇼.
