All language subtitles for The Worlds Most Scenic Railway Journeys S06E02 1080p WEB DL H264 BTN_track3_[eng]

Come with us on an Australian
journey that's unlike any other.

Hugging a spectacular coast,
we'll see how this railway line

binds together an immense
and diverse land.

From a journey into the past...

BELL RINGS
All aboard!

This is old-fashioned Queensland,
old-fashioned Australia.

Everyone leaves with
a smile on their face.

..to an animal that fooled science.

It's just part of my DNA,
it's in my blood.

On the way we'll
take to the skies...

..and explore the deep.

Your eyes are everywhere,

just looking at the wonder
and the diversity.

It's an out-of-world experience.

We'll learn from those who know this
ancient land better than anyone...

DIDGERIDOO DRONES

..and from those protecting it
for the future.

It's mindboggling for some,

because it has diversity
that you don't see elsewhere.

This isn't just any railway journey,

this is one of the most scenic
railway journeys in the world.

An Australian dream,
onboard The Spirit of Queensland.

HORN BLARES

Our journey starts in
Queensland's capital, Brisbane.

The third-largest city in Australia,

with a population of almost
2.5 million.

It may have started
as a penal colony,

but it's now a thriving,
cosmopolitan, global city...

..and a transport hub.

The central Roma Street railway
station, opened in 1875,

is today Brisbane's principal
station for long-distance travel.

And it's from here that
our thousand-mile journey

up Queensland's
spectacular coast will start.

It's a journey that will reveal

the extraordinary diversity
of the state...

..and the train that will be our
home for the next 25 hours

is aptly named
The Spirit of Queensland,

and it rolls into the station
bang on time.

This is the epitome
of modern locomotives.

Capable of over 130 miles per hour,

the Hitachi-built Tilt Train

is the fastest narrow-gauge train
in the world.

But this is a journey
on a continental scale.

Today we're gonna travel from
Brisbane through to Cairns,

it's roughly a 25-hour trip,

covering about 1,600 kilometres
up the Queensland coast.

STATION ANNOUNCER:
Customers on Platform 10,

this is the five-minute,
and final boarding call

for The Spirit of Queensland
service to Cairns.

With a final goodbye...

WHISTLE PEEPS

STATION PA: Please stand clear.

..our Queensland adventure
is underway.

ONBOARD ANNOUNCER:
Good afternoon, customers,

welcome aboard Queensland Rail's
Spirit of Queensland service.

This spectacular journey

starts halfway up the east coast
of Australia in Brisbane.

From there the train travels north
past the Sunshine Coast to Gympie,

once the heart of the
Australian gold rush.

And a newly renovated branch line

offers a chance to
experience Queensland

as it was in those bygone days.

Heading north again,
the train passes through

prime sugar cane fields, the source
of the legendary Bundaberg rum.

And then on into vast,
open cattle country.

Travelling through the
night and further north still,

we're into the tropics,
where we will take to the air

with the Flying Doctors,

before heading underwater to
see how art is helping to preserve

Queensland's most famous natural
wonder, the Great Barrier Reef.

Eventually we'll reach Cairns

and our ultimate
dizzying destination,

the world's oldest
tropical rainforest.

It's a journey of over
a thousand breathtaking miles

on of the most dazzling
passenger trains on the planet.

How we doing there, folks?
Just checking tickets.

Thank you very much.

Going through to Gordonvale.

Thank you very much, folks,
enjoy your trip.

It's not long before
the suburbs of Brisbane

give way to green,
rolling countryside.

For most passengers it's time
to settle in and enjoy the view.

For others it's just time to relax.

You wouldn't know it,
but for assistance dog Ollie,

it's his first time on the train.

Ollie's been doing really good.

He was not scared of the train
when we first got on.

He's a very brave boy,

even if something scares him
he pushes through.

He got comfortable very quickly,
and now he loves it.

Unlike Ollie, Vanessa's an old hand,

and for her, nothing beats
the space and comfort

of this Aussie super-train.

We have a lot more space than we
would have on a plane, for example,

and I can't drive
such long distances,

so, the train gives us
the opportunity to do that

and still be quite comfortable.

It's not long before
the striking peaks

of the Glass House Mountains
come into view.

They were given their unusual name
by Captain Cook

when he first saw them,
because they reminded him

of the conical glass furnaces

that dotted the Yorkshire
landscape back home.

HORN BLARES

But in no time at all
we're beyond the mountains

and into the lush hinterland
of the Sunshine Coast.

It's an area rich in wildlife...

..and it's also our first
jumping-off point,

because it was near here one day
in 2012 that local man Neil Andison

had an experience
he'll never forget.

A clue is in his nickname.

Around here Neil's known
as the Platypus Whisperer.

My first experience of a platypus,
glanced down at the creek,

and there was one swimming full-pelt
up the centre of the creek.

To say I was excited is
probably an understatement.

A feeling of...awe.

Since then Neil has
dedicated his life

to studying and teaching others
about the platypus.

Look, there's one over there.

It's just part of my DNA,
it's in my blood.

My connection to the platypus
is such that if I don't see one

I suffer withdrawal symptoms.

The platypus is an
extraordinary animal.

It's a mammal that lays eggs,

and it's found only along
the east coast of Australia.

In fact, when the body of a platypus

was first brought back to Britain
in 1798,

scientists thought it was a hoax.

They were convinced different
body parts of various animals

had been stitched together.

It looked as if it had
the bill of a duck,

the body of an otter,
and the tail of a beaver.

It's truly one of a kind.

And for Neil,
well worthy of preservation.

My reason for starting
what I do is to educate people

about the platypus, and the need to
look after our creeks and rivers

to make sure that
this animal survives.

It's survived for millennia,

let's let it survive
for another millennia.

HORN BLARES

Back onboard
The Spirit of Queensland...

..it's time to sit back,
enjoy the view,

and take in all that Queensland
has to offer.

Well, I'm on the train
with my sister, Rhonda,

I'm from Perth
and she's from Melbourne,

and this is a good place to meet.

Denise invited me
and I couldn't say no,

cos she's great to travel with,
and this is really cruise-y.

I really like just
looking out the window,

looking at the Australian bush,

cos I like the bush,
and it's unique in the world.

HORN BLARES

A couple of hours from Brisbane,

and the train reaches
the historic town of Gympie.

This is gold rush country.

Gold was discovered here in 1867,

and it was gold that brought
the railways.

For us, it's a chance to stop off
and travel back in time.

An old branch line has been restored

and put to work by
the local community,

and it offers a chance to
experience Queensland

as it was in the pioneering days.

We believe it was worth preserving,

and people are really
attracted to it,

because it is
a really beautiful line.

Spend a lot of time here,
let's put it that way.

Adrian Hurley has worked on the
Mary Valley Line for 22 years.

He was always going to be
a train driver.

My dad was a train driver,
so, I was brought up about 'em.

I remember, as a little kid, riding
on the steam engines with Dad,

and I've always had
a love affair with 'em.

This is old-fashioned Queensland,
old-fashioned Australia.

I'd encourage people to come.

Everyone leaves with
a smile on their face.

A smile on their face, and a
bellyful of Queensland delicacies.

BELL RINGS
All aboard!

HORN BLARES
STEAM HISSES

The locomotive is a 1920s C17,
number 967,

one of 227 built for
the Queensland railways.

They started building these trains
in 1920, and didn't stop until 1953.

It was the most common class of
locomotive in Queensland.

An excellent all-rounder.

Today Adrian is being ably assisted
by volunteer driver Peter Alder.

Being a driver is very satisfying.

It's really good to do.

I never thought I would have
the opportunity to do this.

It's great to see the looks
on the people's faces,

and give them a chance to experience
what life was like here

on a Queensland Rail branch line.

The railway was a wonder of its
time. It opened up the valley.

It was built to carry
agricultural produce,

but even back then
tourists were welcome.

Now, as a heritage line, it's
tourists who are the main cargo,

500 to 600 every week.

HORN BLARES

For the volunteer drivers, the
beauty of the line never fades.

You've got the hills
in the background,

the dairy cows, the paddocks.

Everyone waves,
absolutely everyone waves.

You get a sore arm
from waving to everyone!

This is a very, very pretty line.

The railway here in Gympie
is a living piece of history.

It's something that any
train buff should do,

and if you're not a train buff,
come and do it anyway.

Leaving this beautiful
old rattler behind,

we return to the most modern
of locomotives.

Soon we'll be entering the tropics,

and with some
fire in our belly, too.

Today I'm gonna be making

The World's Most Scenic
Railway Journey blend.

We're travelling over a thousand
miles from Brisbane to Cairns

on The Spirit of Queensland,

enjoying the most spectacular views
in Eastern Australia.

We've left Brisbane
and passed through

the old gold rush town of Gympie,

and we're now on our way
to Bundaberg,

home of one of Australia's
favourite tipples.

From there we'll continue north
into cattle country,

and at Rockhampton we'll cross
the Tropic of Capricorn

for the rest of our
Queensland adventure.

Beyond Gympie the train passes over
rich, red volcanic soil.

And it's a soil that
has a sweet touch...

..because it's perfect for the
production of sugar cane.

It's made our next stop, Bundaberg,
famous across Australia,

because just like in the Caribbean,

where there's sugar cane
there's rum.

Back in 1888, here in Bundaberg,
the sugar industry was booming,

but one of the by-products
you get when creating sugar

is a product called molasses.

And there were a group of
sugar millers here in Bundaberg

who had so much molasses they
didn't know what to do with it.

It was a big, sticky problem,
and they solved it in one evening,

in the customary manner,
down the pub.

They decided to use all the excess
molasses to make rum,

and the rest is Bundaberg history.

So, we're very proud
of the rum we make here,

and also incredibly proud
of the way we do it.

It starts by sourcing
three local ingredients,

molasses, yeast and water.

These three ingredients are mixed
together in these giant tubs,

a syrupy broth that
resembles a witch's brew.

We'll have them bubble away
for about 36 hours,

this is what creates a wash.

If you're at a whisky distillery,

they might call it a
distiller's beer.

The liquid is then pushed through
these giant cylinders,

where it's injected with steam.

It ends up in huge stills

which are heated so that
the liquid turns to gas.

Now we're gonna cool that gas
back down to a liquid,

and you've got 78% alcohol
ready for maturation.

There are over 200 vats on site,

and in these the rum
is left to come of age.

But it all started with the
Queensland sugar cane,

and, of course,
the trains that supply it.

All of the sugar cane that
is refined at Bundaberg Sugar

is brought in by cane trains
from the local Bundaberg region.

We have trains coming into the mill
pretty much every 20 minutes.

Now, these trains are
small little locomotives

carrying in about 20 to 30
carriages full of little billets.

These billets of sugar cane
are unloaded at the site,

ready for the empty carriages to
be pulled back out to the farms.

It's the different wooden barrels

that give each rum
its distinct flavour.

And now Duncan is on a mission
to make something truly unique.

We are now in the barrel house,

or the Blendatorium,
as we like to call it.

I'm gonna be making a blend
using rum matured in sherry barrels,

port barrels, Scotch whisky barrels,

and today I am making
a really special blend,

The World's Most Scenic
Railway Journey blend.

Now, I'm gonna start with this rum

that's been matured
in bourbon barrels.

So, I'm gonna take 3mls
of that liquid, there.

And then I'm also
gonna take 3mls of the rum

that's been matured
in sherry barrels,

gonna put those two together.

Then just to finish it off,

and give it a little extra
complexity and a bit of depth,

I'm gonna take 1ml of this rum
that's been matured in port barrels.

It's a little richer.
Put those three rums together,

give it a bit of a swirl...

..smells pretty good.

Tastes pretty good, too. I think
we're ready to fill up the bottle.

Back on the train,
the Bundy is going down a treat.

But it's not long before
the cane fields disappear.

Soon, Mount Larcom comes into view.

A towering peak that tells us

we're passing from South
into Central Queensland.

On the plains beyond,
soil is not so much sweet as dry.

This more arid land is
prime cattle farming country.

In fact, our next stop is known as
the beef capital of Australia.

Rockhampton, known simply as
'Rocky' to the locals,

has a population of around 80,000,

but today in the greater
Rockhampton area

people are in the minority.

It's said they're outnumbered
by cattle 40-to-1.

And it's all down to climate.

Gavin Tickle is manager

of the Central Queensland
Livestock Exchange,

and he knows that being
on the border of the tropics

is the key to Rocky's beef bonanza.

We don't have as cold winters
here as down south,

we've got a good rainfall average,
those things combine,

and the type of grasses and pastures
farmers can produce here

allows for a good cow herd,
and that sets up the area.

Between 125,000 and 150,000 cattle
are sold here every year,

often over 3,000 in a single day.

It's a multi-million dollar
industry.

The sales agents work in teams,

each team with a
different coloured shirt,

with professional spotters
looking out for bids

often made with the smallest
of nods and gestures.

All the auctioneers develop
their own auctioneering style,

their own rattle,
and they get the cattle happening.

It's really good to see and
it's quite entertaining sometimes

watching the guys get up there.

They get quite animated at times,

and get right behind
what they're doing.

Everyone gets very excited around
it, it's a good atmosphere.

CATTLE LOW

It's at the livestock exchange

where farmers can get together
and chew the cud.

Life on a cattle station
out in rural Queensland

is tough and isolated.

Coming to Rocky's livestock
exchange is a good day out.

Part of what makes Rockhampton

is the characters and personalities
that live up here, you know,

we're very resilient up here, we've
been through a lot of tough times,

and most people
can still come through

with a good smile on their face,
and have a good joke.

Very welcoming, always.

Everyone's really quick
to say g'day,

shake your hand
and introduce themselves.

In the past, cattle were brought
onto the site by train.

It had its own loop off the main
line, but that's now long gone.

Times have changed, but the site
itself is busier than it ever was.

It's truly 'rocking'.

It's a great facility,
a real busy facility,

and we service a really wide
area of central Queensland.

Care for a ginger beer? Oh, yes.

Leaving Rockhampton behind us,
the day is drawing to a close.

The Spirit of Queensland is
rolling into the evening light.

But for the passengers,

there's still time to enjoy
some beautiful scenery.

It's great out the window.

It's really good, because
this is a part of Queensland

I've never seen before.

I'm hoping for a great dinner,
really nice wine, and a good sleep.

And just time to just cruise,

because the train's really smooth,
I really like it, this part.

When dinner comes,
it doesn't disappoint.

And a glass of Queensland red
is the perfect way to wash it down.

Lovely!

And to make sure the night is
a good one for all onboard,

passenger service supervisor
Benjamin Clayton is on hand.

Ben's been with The Spirit
of Queensland from the start,

and this is his first night onboard
since becoming a father.

OVER TWO-WAY: Congratulations, Ben,
how's the kid, doing good?

Everyone's good, it's my first trip
back, so, happy to be at work,

but I do wish I was at home
with the little one.

He may be missing his family,
but for Ben,

working on the train is
nothing short of a dream come true.

It's a job I've always wanted to do
since I was a little boy.

And there's one part of the job

that's different from
any other train...

..making the beds.

Our rail beds are one-of-a-kind
in the world.

They were built specifically for
The Spirit of Queensland.

They're Australian-designed,
Australian-built.

We'll ask you to jump out
so you're not pancaked,

and we'll put your bed down
and make your bed for you.

Spirit of Queensland is now set to
journey right through the night.

What awaits the next day
is the stuff of dreams.

An underwater wonderland.

This has been a catalyst,
groundbreaking, huge.

It's an out-of-world experience.

HORN BLARES

Throughout the night
The Spirit of Queensland

has raced relentlessly north.

But now it's early morning,
and time to sit up,

enjoy the scenery, and contemplate
that perennial question...

Oh, that looks good, doesn't it?

..tea or coffee?

Just gonna go back and do some tea
and coffee, I'll be right back, OK?

We've now travelled over 400 miles

on the line that unites
this rich and diverse state...

..but we're not even halfway.

After Rockhampton
we're in the tropics,

and travelling up the
stunning Capricorn Coast.

We're going to take to the skies
with the Flying Doctors...

..before stopping off in Townsville,
now well into North Queensland,

and gateway to
the Great Barrier Reef.

The distances involved are vast,

but to your average Aussie,
that's no worries.

Being Australians,
we don't worry about distance.

No. It's all about the journey.

Our friends overseas find it really
weird that we would travel so far,

but to us,
if we wanna see the country

we have to travel a long way.

Yeah. We're really quite happy
to do that, aren't we?

We grow up doing it. Yeah.
It's no drama at all.

But it's the huge distances
that shape this country.

It's at this stage of the journey

that if you look up
it's just possible you might see

a certain plane overhead.

We're a long way from the
main centres of population,

and if there's one thing
rural Australia is famous for,

it's the Flying Doctors.

I'm Claire, I'm a flight nurse with
the Royal Flying Doctor Service,

I've been with the service
for ten years.

We get to look after all sorts of
people, from all over the place.

We fly west out to Longreach,
down to Brisbane,

we cover the central
Queensland area,

and we transfer about
six people every day.

Over 12,000 patients are transported
every year just in Queensland,

and over five million miles flown.

Because out in the bush

there's only one person
for every four square miles.

So, I grew up in rural Queensland,
and RFDS is an iconic organisation.

So, when I started nursing

it was always something
in the back of my mind

that I'd like to work towards.

I love that we can provide
that service, 24 hours a day,

to get people from their
small communities

down to the big centres
where they need to be.

On the planes there's
not a huge amount of room,

but they're bustling with equipment.

So, we've got two stretchers
for our patients.

Our aircraft have oxygen, suction,

just like a normal
hospital bed setup.

We're basically set up like an
intensive care unit in the air.

But things haven't always
been so hi-tech.

The Flying Doctors started
way back in the 1920s.

In fact, it was the first air
ambulance service in the world,

and their first official flight,

on the 17th of May 1928,
took place here in Queensland.

Since then, they've climbed
to even greater heights,

and Claire has never looked back.

There's no other job like it.
It's the best job in the world.

And I love it.

Down below, The Spirit of Queensland
is venturing even further north.

We're now entering a land of
rainforests and tropical beaches.

The beautiful Capricorn Coast
comes and goes, and then...

..we're on to the Whitsunday Coast,

and more sun, sea
and heavenly scenery.

In the early afternoon the train
passes over the Burdekin Bridge,

sharing it with the highway.

The river here is prone to flooding,

and so, the bridge stretches
an astonishing 3,620ft.

From here it's a short hop,

at least in Australian terms,
to our next stop.

We're now well into
North Queensland,

and the city of Townsville
is its unofficial capital.

And it's a jumping-off place
for anyone who wants to explore

one of the greatest
natural wonders of the world.

Townsville is a divers' heaven,

because this is the best place
to see the Great Barrier Reef.

Diving is an opportunity
to immerse yourself

in the wonders of the
Great Barrier Reef.

Your eyes are everywhere,
just looking at the wonder

and the diversity.

It's an out-of-world experience.

Townsville resident Adam Smith
is a seasoned diver.

But it's not all about pleasure.

Adam is a marine biologist and has
spent decades studying the reef.

But in 2020 something unusual
happened here.

Some strange,
ghostly figures appeared.

This is the
Museum of Underwater Art.

And Adam was one of
the people behind it.

The Great Barrier Reef is a wonder,

it's recognised on the
World Heritage list,

but it's also under
enormous pressure,

particularly from issues
such as climate change.

We want to have conversations
with people about the reef,

and encourage them to
change their behaviour,

to be more sustainable,
to take actions.

As a scientist I speak to a very
small audience, science nerds.

But if you combine science and art

you can reach millions of people.

So, that's been extremely exciting,

to get messages about the reef,
and conservation, to the world.

And here in Townsville's
Museum of Tropical Queensland,

more figures are being prepared for
their positioning on the seabed...

..where they'll slowly become a part
of the reef itself.

And as soon as they're put in the
water they'll become biomorphic.

The ocean will be the
owners of these sculptures,

and algae, and corals and
barnacles will grow on them,

and change them completely.

So, every dive will be different.

The impact of the
Museum of Underwater Art

has been a catalyst,
groundbreaking, huge.

It has touched many people.

I love the beauty and diversity
of the reef,

and telling those stories
through art and science

will help ensure
that this great wonder

is here for future generations.

Back on dry land, our
extraordinary journey is now set

to take us away from
the coast and into the hills,

as we take a unique and thrilling
ride above our ultimate destination.

To get a view of the rainforest
like this

you really have to be in a
helicopter or a hot-air balloon.

It's the world's oldest
tropical rainforest.

We're on a glorious
Australian train journey

onboard The Spirit of Queensland.

We're now well into the north,
and are heading inland.

Thank you. You're welcome.

There you go.

It's time for lunch.

And to accompany the meal, the
sight of beautiful, open wilderness.

This is the
Bowling Green National Park.

A vast landscape of shapeshifting
flood plains and rugged mountains.

The land was opened up
by the railway

at the end of the 19th century,
but it was already settled.

In fact, it had been for rather
a long time.

Wadda Mooli, everyone.

Wadda Mooli means 'welcome',
and in our Birrigubba language

I just wanna welcome everyone here,

and make 'em sure that
they're at ease in our country.

Eddie Smallwood is an elder
of the Bindal people.

They have inhabited this
land for about 40,000 years.

DIDGERIDOO DRONES

But that's not to say
others aren't welcome.

We always have a smoking ceremony

because we wanna let our spirits
know that whoever's there with us,

we're welcoming them to our country.

But we also are helping cleanse
their own spirits,

and make them feel comfortable,

because it's like a healing process
for the people that are there,

and our smoking ceremonies

are about cleansing the spirit
and healing each other.

Eddie used to work on the railways,

but now teaches visitors about the
history and culture of his people.

And an important part of this is
the rock art of the area.

A lot of our rock art around here
is really a history lesson for us,

because we've gotta know what our
ancestors said in the past.

But we also look at that as being
educational for the future.

All of our ancestors
left a legacy there

for us to pass on to our families.

The rock art here is thought to
depict dreamtime stories and maps.

It's closely linked to
ceremonies and rituals

like the smoking ceremony.

When we show people rock art
we explain to them

that this could be
thousands of years old.

Then it takes them back

into a little journey themselves
in their own mind.

The whole thing here is
educating and respecting.

Our journey up the coast of
Queensland is steeped in history.

But it's the ultramodern Spirit of
Queensland that's been our guide.

To the west, the mountains of
the Great Dividing Range,

to the east,
the blue of the Pacific Ocean.

Our passage inbetween takes us
through a lush tropical landscape,

and once again sugar cane
is growing along the route.

ONBOARD ANNOUNCER:
In approximately 30 minutes' time

we will be arriving in Cairns.

And then, 25 hours after
our departure,

and over 1,000 miles later,
we arrive in Cairns.

The stepping-off point for the final
exhilarating leg of our journey.

Cairns is the starting point
for the Kuranda Scenic Railway.

A breathtaking 23-mile ride

up into the world's oldest
tropical rainforest.

These magnificent carriages date
from the earliest 20th century,

but the line itself
was completed in 1891,

when it was nothing short of
an engineering marvel.

37 bridges had to be built,

and 15 tunnels carved by hand
out of the mountainside.

The reason, mining.

The rainforest here is
rich in tin and gold.

Today the cargo is tourists,
who can choose Heritage Class,

to have that original,
authentic experience,

or Gold Class, to sit in state
like old colonials.

Over 1,000ft up, surrounded
by dense rainforest,

the train reaches its
destination, Kuranda Station.

The mines are long gone, and the
rainforest is now fully protected.

G'day, guys.

And one of the rangers here is
Austrian expat, Mike Gailer.

And here we are.

It's mindboggling for some,

especially the view that we've
got from this lookout.

You're looking right down the gorge.

Mike first came here

while backpacking across
Australia in 2008,

and he hasn't looked back since.

I have chosen this location
as my new home

because it has diversity that
you don't see elsewhere.

I've been working here
for over 11 years,

and I can tell you it
hasn't got boring yet.

In fact, the biodiversity here

is greater than anywhere else
in Australia.

Scientists estimate the forest to
be about 180 millions years old.

That's tens of millions of years
older than the Amazon rainforest.

That's why in 1988 the whole area
was declared a World Heritage Site.

At ground level
it's dark and dense.

The best way to see the forest
is from above.

So, in 1995 the Kuranda
Rainforest Cableway opened,

running for nearly five miles
above the forest canopy.

114 gondolas can carry over 600
people an hour, in each direction,

with no impact on the forest below.

This is the only cableway
of its kind in the world.

Yeah, it's quite good to see from
up here how dense the canopy is.

In fact, to get a view
of the rainforest like this

you really have to be in a
helicopter or in a hot-air balloon.

It's a spectacular ride,
and it's just one of the reasons

this corner of Queensland
is so special.

And hanging beneath a cable above
the world's oldest rainforest

is the perfect place to
look back on an incredible journey.

We've travelled over
a thousand miles

up the spectacular
Queensland coast...

..we've touched the past,
and tasted paradise...

..and witnessed true
wonders of nature,

and all thanks to one of

the most scenic railway journeys
in the world.
