If you've ever wondered why mountain railroads are so fascinating, watch these videos. You're probably going to watch a movie anyway, and this is time much better spent.

In July of 2002, I rode that railroad from San Bartelome to Galera and back with Trains Unlimited Tours. It's an amazing railroad and a real engineering feat.
