Allegheny1600 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Hi all, I know there is a similar thread here: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/70346-railroads-in-a-giant-landscape/ but that seems focused upon mainly North American scenes with some South American thrown in (it is in the US/Can section, after all!), my couple of attempts to show that the rest of the world also has spectacular scenery didn’t seem to get much appreciation. Not complaining, just saying! I just wanted to show that the rest of the world puts on an awesome show too. To start us off then, how about a quick look towards the east? Copyright: Bharat Vohra.

Express train 504 from Taourirt to Nadur. Apologies for using other peoples images, I do have some pictures from Morocco but they are rubbish compared to what’s available online. Finally, Sweden; copyright: Alexandre Zanello. One of the famous iron ore trains run by LKAB between Sweden and Norway. There is an awful lot more of Europe, Asia and Africa to explore not to mention the entire continent of Australia and many many islands with railways in dramatic scenery, I haven’t scratched the surface here. Please feel free to add more as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
