An incredibel train journey from the mountain station at Myrdal on the Bergen Railway down to Flåm station nestled in the innermost corner of the Aurlandfjord. There are no railway lines of the adhesion type anywhere in the world steeper than the Flåm Railway. The gradient is 55/1000 on almost 80% of the line, i.e. a gradient of one in eighteen. The twisting tunnels that spiral in and out of the mountain are manifestations of the most daring and skilful engineering in Norwegian railway history.

Greece - Pilion Railway

The railway was reactivated in May 1996, at least the part between Ano Lehonia and Milies was taken into service again. It seems that there are projects to reactivate the whole line from Volos to Milies. So far, the service is very limited: one departure every Saturday and Sunday in both directions. A one way journey takes about 90 minutes. The old Belgian steam engines were used until 1999. In 2000, they were replaced with two brand new German high tech diesel engines, which have been "disguised" as steam engines. CONTACT - webmaster@pilion.net for details.

Marvel at our forefathers' pioneering achievements in railway technology surrounded by magnificent mountain scenery. Start with us from Realp station in the Canton of Uri (1420 m above sea level) on an unforgettable, thrilling trip which takes us in some two hours in carefully restored old-timer trains to Gletsch in the Canton of Valais. First, the over 80 year old steam engine climbs the rack rail uphill along the rushing waters of the Furkareuss. It travels at a leisurely speed over the bold Wiler bridge, through the three Senntumstafel tunnels and across the famed Steffenbach folding bridge. All aboard for the steam train experience. Have a good trip!
