1.The death Railway - Thailand
death Railway is actually the Burma Railway, a 258 mile track that runs between Bangkok, Thailand and Rangoon, Burma. Ninety thousand workers and sixteen Allied prisoners of war died while building this railway, as the tracks hug the sides of sheer cliffs. The train passes over rickety wooden bridges, scaring passengers along the way.
2.The Landwasser Viaduct - Switzerland
It was difficult for people to travel across the mountainous terrain of Switzerland before the 19th century. The Landwasser Viaduct was built with many bridges and tunnels to allow passage through the mountains. Built in 1902, this railway is a tourist attraction, listed in most travel brochures in the country.
3.Tunnel Of Love - Ukraine
Like a painting, this railway, the Tunnel Of Love, is a one mile section of track through Klevan, Ukraine bringing wood to the fibreboard factory. Three times a day the train makes its way through the green tunnel made up of trees and shrubbery. A great attraction for lovers and photographers. It is said that wishes made, as you pass through, will become reality.
4.Napier Gisborne Railway - New Zealand
New Zealand has some of the most beautiful countryside in the world, with the Napier Gisborne Railway swooshing passengers along for the view.

5.Tren a las Nubes - Argentina

6.Outeniqua Choo Tjoe Train - South Africa
As the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe train passes over the Kaalmans Bridge in South Africa, it can be a little tedious for passengers. It seems no one forgets that the railway began with a bang. An accident, shortly after it opened in 1908, threw wood down along the train tracks. Passengers today hold on tightly as the train passes over the bridge.
7.Maeklong Market Railway - Thailand
This amazing railway cuts through the Maeklong, Thailand food market. A strange sight to see as shopkeepers pull up shop, to make room for the train to go through, and then they set up once again. The food market is actually built on the train tracks, packed with vegetables, eggs and fish.
