The historic Katoomba Scenic Railway, located in the stunning Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia, is the steepest cable-driven funicular railway in the world, with the steepest incline an astonishing 52 degrees. Passengers embark on a thrilling, unique journey in the 84-seat glass roofed red train carriage.
The unique Kuranda Scenic Railway has journeyed through tropical North Queensland for more than 125 years and provides its passengers with breathtaking views of one of the most stunning areas of Australia. The 23-mile-long track winds through the lush green World Heritage Rainforest, past cascading waterfalls and a variety of birds, fauna and reptiles before it terminates at the small mountain village of Kuranda. Demand for the Kuranda Scenic Railway began in 1882 when, unsatisfied with the often-unpassable road from Port Douglas, local tin miners began calling for a railway line that would lead them to the coast. Years of debate followed, with railway leagues from both Cairns and Port Douglas fighting for the right to the railway, before construction on the line officially began in 1886. Although initially designed for commuter purposes, the railway began operating as a tourist attraction as early as 1936 and today is used solely for this purpose, transporting tourists through the spectacular rainforest to the tropical village of Kuranda every day of the year except Christmas Day.
The XPT follows the route of the Hume Highway through the state of Victoria, passing through Benalla and the cathedral city of Wangaratta before entering the state of New South Wales and the Riverina region. The broad, flat plains of the Riverina comprise some of the most agriculturally productive land in Australia due to the favorable climate and a plentiful water supply. The XPT service continues through the cities of Albury and Wagga Wagga and then heads west to Cootamundra and the Southern Tablelands. Leaving Goulburn, the train enters the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, a mountainous wine-producing region that sits on the Great Dividing Range. Finally, after passing through the suburbs of Campbelltown and Strathfield in the Australian capital, the service pulls into Sydney's Central Railway Station.
