What the fuxk is north west it was afghana and now pakhtoon khwah

Wringing a tear from me at every beautiful opportunity...

Yep while the Chinese and Europe are going at full speed with HSR the British find comfort and pride with the train powered by burning wood. Best of British?

Simply gorgeous! The views go on and on . The engineering behind this masterpiece is incredible. The continuing improvement of the operation of the line is possible because of upgradation of propulsion technology which permits increasing loads up the steep inclines . With climate change and increasingly melting snow the route faces major challenges in the future .

that's all local labor no loans or investment.and prisoners laying railway lines.

Nice video, Like!

Dan sekarang generasi keturunan Indonesia tidak bisa lagi melihat lokomotif lokomotif uap ini melaju di jalur utama, Mereka yang masih beroperasi hanya tersisa di Ambarawa, solo dan Bukittinggi selebihnya hanya diam membisu di museum.

Thanks, fantastic footage all the way . What an incredibly remote area ; almost felt like I'd come to Scotland . It's a tenuous link for people living so far away from civilization .

the locomotives look very similar to the BESA standard Indian locomotives of the era. I am guessing that's no coincidence

Bridge on River Kwai in Burma was railway track between Burma Myanmar 🇲🇲 and Thailand 🇹🇭 was destroyed by British during WWII Burma was under British occupation, as Japanese were capturing entre Burma British opened lots of Railways lines for Burmese to travel far distance In Sri Lanka too all Railways were opened by British Government when they ruled Ceylon from 1815 to 1948 First steam Coal Railway Engines and railway track opened in 1864 After such railway track opened upto 2024 year Matara to Beliatte in Southern Province 30 miles extended railway track opened in 2019 Thanks to British Government Sarath Dassanaike from Sri Lanka

Such a laid back, non rushed life style! 😊😊😊 easy on the good health.

Depicting Bridge on rivet kwai in Burma then under British occupation during WWII in Sri Lanka Ceylon a film was done in 1956 by American film makers I saw this film exhibited in Sri Lanka 3 times and with a lovely sweet song Sarath Dassanaike

What a treasure. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for a wonderful ride through Eritrea.

ja op dit stuk spoor van Apeldoorn en Deventer gingen de V, A, M, wagons getrokken door een 2400 serie van de NS dus het straatspoor was belangrijk voor de afvoer van huisvuil toen maar er kwam een einde aan dit vervoer van het huisvuil in de V, A, M, wagons kleur groen en blauw en geel opgeheven is in 1992 a 1993 ook door de stank en lawaai van de lok de 2400 serie van de NS ik reed veel met mijn vader op de trein grt mars

❤

Hochinteressante Technik. Das war noch Mashinenbau! Kein häßlicher moderner Scheißdreck wie heute!

So interesting. They certainly got a move on those little engines!

Fascinating absolutely fascinating. I can almost smell the smoke from the steam engines. A very well done documentary!

Looks like the vegetation is loving the carbon the trains belch out, so green!

Wonderful episode, some real 'wild frontier' railroading going on here. Fascinating to see the broad gauge and narrow gauge tracks engineered together at 32:58.

Many, many thanks for this superb video. My son and I travelled on these trains in January 1992 and had an exciting experience, no Health and Safety here, we loved it! So sad it has almost gone.

I've been to Kanchanaburi - and to the riverbed in Sri Lanka where they filmed 'The Bridge on the River Kwai.' I've seen many mass graves where thousands of soldiers lie - and the headstones often reads 'Their Name Liveth For Evermore' - or some such rubbish. I can't remember any of them...can you? 🤔🤔🤔

Amazing!

Thank you for capturing this small part of world history

A very remote line indeed, and spectacular operations. The Henschel locomotives made a good sound. Luckily this line survived over it's entire length, 2 sections, from Esquel to Nahuelpan and from El Maitén to Ñorquincó are operated as a tourist line, sadly the remainder of the line doesn't see regular trains anymore, the tourist service is known as La Trochita and there is a website with information and online booking, it's in Spanish only.

There was an article in the Readers Digest in which the former enemies, one a Japanese Soldier and the other I think an Australian soldier met and eventually reconciled for the trauma of war. It was a great and moving story. When was this real life printed in the Malaysian Digest. I wish to read it again. I’m 84.

What speed would these wood burning locos do if the track was in order etc..?

Und wo ist der Fehler im Video? genau.. bei 24:00. Der Zug ist pünktlich in Basel angekommen. Heute unvorstellbar.

Outstanding report. The commentary was excellent. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning, the spirit of the Narrow gauge is a universal one. From Wiscasset to Tywyn, from Durango to Darjeeling and from Rock Hill to Esquel, we are our dependent's connection to the outside world. As long as the world keeps turning, so too will our wheels, because whether it's locals, tourists, freight, livestock or even just memories, things still need to be moved where the standard gauge can't go.

Real railroading… Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure. I’d love to see this railroad someday… Subscribed

Did this trip 1992, all the way Esquel to Ingenerio Jacobbi, left at 7.am arrived at Ingenerio 23.00, then caught the connection to Bahia Blanca great trip

Brilliant film, thanks very much.

Question , Does this railway still exist? And where the heck did they find the wood for ties to build the hundreds of miles of track? If they close this line, how will people live.

Hello from Kansas 🇺🇲

Very nice, but too old, in 2024 what is shown exists, I doubt it.

A broken axle bearing made this episode a bit more interesting

I'm given to understand that the famous movie "Bridge on the river Kwai " was shot in SriLangka.

Intro music on point! Outro music on point!

Great 👍 program! 😊 Such a spectacular Argentinian 🇦🇷 line! 29:40 Interesting to see how jacks are used to place a train back on the rails.

Great video! Could have done without the dog being stuffed in the tool box

31:16 快门一按 行车中断 造成事故 移交法办😂

..train traveling at walking place... ..due to the fear of structural collapse.. ..why don't they repair it......? Replace the wooden with concrete/steel!!!...

..@ 6:12 what if the bridge is over crowded and there's no space to stand on that specially built platform by the side of a bridge? Be in such situations and it's like one has to turn around and race against the on coming train 😅😂😂😂👊..

Curiously appealing time travel.

5:53 vraag ik me toch af wat zich daar voordeed, vermoedelijk een dame die ergens duidelijk niet tevreden mee was, moest er anders wel om lachen als je de 'thump' hoort als ze die conducteur een mep verkoopt

I have had the opportunity of travelling by steam and diesel engine trains from Momvasa to Kasese on Uganda/Congo border

Waoo
