The railway track is located in Switzerland, and it is built on the Landwasser river. The way was built back in 1901, and the best part about this train route is that it originates from the tunnel featuring hilly areas. The track is made at a considerable height, all thanks to the 65-meter high pillar that supports the train route.<\/p>\n<p>The special part about the train is that it enters the tunnel after the bridge directly, and it is at least 9200 meters above sea level. The journey of the track is in the middle of dense forest and river-like surroundings, which seems pretty scary when people are sitting on the train as if they feel they are moving in the sky.
