World's Most Dangerous Railways

Over 196 bridges and through 55 tunnels, the Bernina Express fights its way from Switzerland to Italy. Powerful forces of nature make the railway line a dangerous route over the Grisons Alps to this day.

We accompany the Tazara on its 52-hour journey through Tanzania and Zambia as it passes architectural monuments and explores unknown sides of the previously hidden landscapes of East Africa.

The Rameswaram Express takes twelve hours to link the coastal city of Chennai in eastern India with the pilgrimage town of Rameswaram in the far south. Passengers cross bird sanctuaries, rice paddies, the sacred Kaveri River and the spectacular Pamban Bridge.
