After walking down the 800 or so steps to the bottom of the valley we fancied an easier way back up and thought about the small scenic railway. Well we saw the sign for the world's steepest railway and laughed, how steep could it be? Okay 52degrees, that is 1.27 up for every 1 across, we sat at the back so that as it was going to the top we were looking straight down. It was pretty scary. Now it is clear why the sign warned of holding onto infants because they could fall down. Even with the angled seats it felt as though we were going to fall off the back of the train at any moment with nothing in front of us, just the drop.
