Impossible Places | The Most Dangerous Railways That Defy Gravity and Logic | 4K Travel

Impossible Places usually means somewhere nobody goes. This is about the opposite — the places somebody decided to reach anyway, and laid track to get there. A train nearly two miles (3 km) long crossing the Sahara with people riding on top of the iron ore. A Thai market that folds itself away seconds before a locomotive passes through it. A Swiss railway so steep its engineers had to invent a new gear to keep it from falling off the mountain. These are the world's most dangerous railways: lines buried under lava, blown over by wind, swallowed by snow, torn in half by earthquakes. Impossible Places like these cost lives to build, and the people who live along them keep putting the rails back. Extreme engineering, abandoned tunnels, cliff-edge viaducts, and the strangest journeys ever attempted by rail.
