Traveling to Koyasan （高野山） from Nankai Hashimoto Station, Wakayama Prefecture
If you are taking JR Wakayama line or Nankai Koya Line, to get to Koyasan （高野山）, most of the time you may have to switch trains to go to Koyasan at Hashimoto station. Initially this trip from Hashimoto will be on train, during which the train climbs to about 1500 feet above sea level by the time it reaches Nankai Gokurakubashi station. At Gokurakubashi Station you get on a Cable car (inclined railway) to finally reach Koyasan which is at around 2500 feet above sea level.
This video contains both legs of the journey and I think both of them are pretty enjoyable and interesting. Enjoy!!!

Aso Minami route, Japan
Trains going to Ōzu, Miyaji (Aso City) or non-express trains bound for Oita will stop at Tateno Station. Those trains bound for Ōzu will end their journey there and connecting train will be waiting at the adjacent platform. A change will also need to be made at Tateno to the Minamiaso Tetsudou line, which is not a JR line so JR Rail Passes will not be valid. From Tateno to Chōyō (the first station in Minamiaso-mura) costs 230 yen. Following the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, the train line is not in operation and is currently receiving repairs (as of 27 January 2017).
Georgetown Loop Railroad, Colorado
The Georgetown Loop Railroad was one of Colorado’s first visitor attractions. This spectacular stretch of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railroad was completed in 1884 and considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie 2 miles (3.2 km) apart in the steep, narrow canyon of Clear Creek in the Rocky Mountains west of Denver. Engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance to connect them, slowly gaining more than 600 feet (183 m) in elevation. The route included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4%, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil’s Gate High Bridge.
The Georgetown, Breckenridge, and Leadville Railroad had been formed in 1881 under the Union Pacific Railroad.[5] The Loop portion of the line was the crowning segment of the line, crossing the top of the gorge on a 95-foot (29 m) high trestle.
Originally part of the larger line of the Colorado Central Railroad constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, in the wake of the Colorado Gold Rush, this line was also used extensively during the silver boom of the 1880s to haul silver ore from the mines at Silver Plume. In 1893, the Colorado and Southern Railway took over the line and operated it for passengers and freight until 1938.
Chennai-Rameshwaram Route, India
Rameswaram, (also spelt as Ramesvaram, Rameshwaram) is a town and a second grade municipality in the Ramanathapuram district in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is on Pamban Island separated from mainland India by the Pamban channel and is about 40 kilometres from Mannar Island, Sri Lanka. It is in the Gulf of Mannar, at the tip of the Indian peninsula.[1] Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, is connected to mainland India by the Pamban Bridge. Rameswaram is the terminus of the railway line from Chennai and Madurai. Together with Varanasi, it is considered to be one of the holiest places in India to Hindus, and part of the Char Dham pilgrimage.
It is said the Hindu god Rama built a bridge from here across the sea to Lanka to rescue his wife Sita from her abductor Ravana. The Ramanathaswamy Temple, dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, is at the centre of the town and is closely associated with Rama. The temple and the town are considered a holy pilgrimage site for Shaivas and Vaishnavas
White Pass & Yukon Route, Alaska
The White Pass was closely controlled by the Chilkoot Indians and was unknown to non-natives until 1887. William Ogilvie had heard reports of a low pass from the head of Chilkoot Inlet to the headwaters of the Lewes River (Yukon River), while in Juneau. In June 1887, Ogilvie was at the head of Taiya Inlet doing a survey from Pyramid Island up through the Chilkoot Pass. William Moore, who was accompanying him, had experience building roads in mountainous areas and wanted to try this route since the Chilkoot Pass was reported to be too steep for a wagon road. Ogilvie made inquiries and learned there was such a pass, but could not induce any Chilkoots to guide Moore. Skookum Jim Mason had been through this low-altitude pass before, and with much talk and encouragement, he was induced to reveal it. Ogilvie sent Moore and Skookum Jim Mason over this low altitude pass while he
日本の里山をゆく 特急むろと【Train View 前面展望 #03】Special Express Muroto
ビコムステーション「前面展望」第三弾！JR四国・牟岐線を走るキハ185系特急むろとの展望映像。
完全収録のブルーレイ版はこちら→
特急むろとは、基本的には牟岐線区間、徳島〜海部で運転される特急（阿波池田まで足を伸ばす便もある）。編成はキハ185系2両編成と身軽だ。全区間のうち、一瞬だが太平洋をのぞむ区間をご紹介。牟岐線の愛称、阿波室戸シーサイドラインの名の由来となった区間だ。
海岸近くにある由岐駅を発車、ほどなく海水浴シーズンだけオープンする田井ノ浜臨時駅を通過する。夏には特急も停車するが、今回は通過だ。静かな漁港近くの山中をトンネルと築堤などで通り抜ければ、道の駅と一体化した日和佐駅に到着する。駅の近くにはウミガメの産卵地として有名な大浜海岸、そして四国八十八箇所第23番札所の薬王寺がある。
