Blue Mountain Scenic Railway - worlds steepest (inclined) Railway

[@waswolltihr1526]

I've been there back in 1998. There was no glass top on those cars back then, just a metal grid (IIRC). Nice to see it again. Thanks for uploading.

HI... thanks for your comment. Cheers Paul

[@aussiejeff8391]

Remember riding this when it was all open carriage, skinned knickles and rocks falling in.

[@PaulDonovan]

Brilliant !! thanks for your comment. Regards Paul

[@muaddib4868]

Yep ... i remember the same .... i used itto go bush walking, rock climbing and abseiling many times.... now its a tourist park

[@almac2598]

[@Callumrileyw4]

[@NathanBRing]

[@PaulDonovan]

Nathan Ring Star cheers. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Paul

Paul Donovan cheers brother

[@Robspike17]

I remember as a kid I would always go here each year and also when Indiana Jones' theme played I thought it was the Indonesian anthem, despite my Indonesian mum telling me it isn't. Good times.

[@PaulDonovan]

lol... Nice one ! Thanks for your comment. Regards Paul

[@markpeck5117]

my Pop lived in the Jamison Valley when he was still alive......if you look at the 3 sisters, he lived in the clearing you can see way in the distance.....the Kadumba River flowed not too far away behind the homestead.....was absolutely beautiful down there.

[@PaulDonovan]

We loved it there... thanks for your comment. Regards Paul

[@RameyRocks]

Sounds beautiful

[@DougCeleste]

I rode this on the final day of our Aussie tour in October of 2002. GREAT train ride that scared the hell out of me! But I cannot remember how we got back up to the top, Stairs? LOVED the scenic Blue Mountains!

[@davedunn4285]

I and my mates went down there in the 1970’s and I am scared of heights the bloke running it said “ if he goes first you all go free “ scariest ride of my life

I've been on this ride on my spring vacay in Australia!

It's good fun isn't it ?

[@albertmorrisontheaustralianyrs]

Went on this today was raining a lot but was great to experience.

[@yourskibidiboss]

I’ve been there this year it was very steep I had to hold on very tight but it was still fun

[@PaulDonovan]

Lol... it is fun. Regards Paul

[@davidberriman5903]

I think my first visit was about 1963 or 64. My last visit was mid 70s. It has certainly changed a lot since then.

[@PaulDonovan]

It was our first visit.... we enjoyed it ! Regards Paul (sorry for the delay responding)

[@ourjeffie]

I can do better than that! My first visit would have been around 1946. My mother was terrified of heights but took my sister and I on it so we could have the experience. My most recent visit was a couple of years ago.

[@davidberriman5903]

@@ourjeffie In 1946 I wasn't. My parents didn't get married till 12th October, 1946. I didn't arrive on the scene till 1952. You have me beaten all round.

[@ofwgktadgaf.]

went on it yesterday, 4 times! up and down, ITS SO GOOD! though i believe the bush/trees have overgrown and you dont really see the 3 sisters now aha

[@PaulDonovan]

we loved it !! regards Paul

[@BT12345-e]

Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but this is located in the Blue Mountains WEST of Sydney. I experienced it at least 65 years ago. An amazing experience.

[@PaulDonovan]

Hi... Description updated.. !! Not a party pooper...... nerd.. maybe lol... only joking. 🤣 regards Paul

[@potterj09]

Wow talk about upgrades. Back in my childhood the sides of it were completely open and they just ran a single chain along it, plus the roof was the kind of mesh you'd get in a mine car. They nerfed the hell out this version 😔

[@kaelynskewes4486]

Omg I’m going there this year and I’m so going on that! lol

[@PaulDonovan]

Cool.... its great fun !! regards Paul

[@kaelynskewes4486]

Thankyou for the reply! This must be very fun and I’m super keen. 🙂

[@barbarjinks8170]

Why board a self imploding submarine when you could rise the worlds steepest railway?

[@PaulDonovan]

😮

[@FLonYT326]

This ride sucks! It really scary! (For real tho, i was terrified when i went on this ride. I’m ready to do it again now.)

[@PaulDonovan]

[@macstyle2012]

I am sure the one in Switzerland is steeper - towards the end it is just about vertical at 90 degrees.

[@pancakedev6]

lol why is it going so slow when i went on it the driver fucking went full speed down it was insane

[@PaulDonovan]

lol... it seemed pretty fast to me !

This ride should be BANNED for kids and babies, Adults should not be allowed to carry them while hanging on to a handle bar above there head, very dangerous, there are always kids screaming in fear of this ride.

[@PaulDonovan]

😮

[@shunde232]

I have a ride today. It is quite scary without fore warning ⚠️.

[@Y2K.4K.]

It’s not scary and it’s safe

[@nurliyanahashim]

I agree. The first time I took it with my 3 year old girl, I wasnt expecting it to be THAT steep. She was thrown forward in her seat and I was having a hard time holding her back, while struggling to stay back myself. They should at least provide an optional seatbelt, imo.

[@sleek881]

It’s not the steepest railway in the world, that goes to Switzerland which descends at 48 degrees

[@PaulDonovan]

The Blue mountain is 52 degrees !! extract from Google: Switzerland may be home to the world’s finest chocolate, but Scenic World in the Blue Mountains still takes the podium as having the world’s steepest passenger railway despite recent efforts to knock Australia off the perch. The Scenic Railway has a long and colourful history dating back to the 1800s coal mining era, but at 52 degrees it still stands as the steepest passenger railway in the world with a whopping 128 per cent incline. Operators across the globe have come within reach of the coveted 52 degree milestone, including a new railway at the Swiss alpine resort of Stoos which ascends at an angle of almost 48 degrees. Covering a distance of 1,738 metres above Lake Lucerne, the Stoos railway is sure to be a crowd pleaser for ski (and apres ski) enthusiasts from near and far. However, at 52 thrilling degrees, the Scenic Railway still takes out the top gong for adventure seekers. While the new Stoos railway may not be the world’s steepest, it is another incredible display of Swiss engineering by one of the world’s leading manufacturers, Garaventa, which designed the new Swiss train along with all Scenic World rides.

It wasn’t scary

[@jayfloramusic]

They tried to charge full amount even though park was closing in an hour and only 2 out of the 4 rides could be done, so we skipped all the rides. Just gonna watch a youtube video.
