Two impressive, the first in Peru, the second in Norway.

(一)

From Cuzco in Peru to the town of Aguas Calientes in the town of Machu Picchu:

It's a three-hour drive, not a train ride.
But it's beautiful, and the main way to get to the hot water town is worth mentioning.

(二)

A railway line between Oslo, Norway, and Bergen. (probably the most beautiful and powerful railway line in the world) :

About Norway:

Just one thing: the Norwegian fjord is a great place to experience, with the exception of winter auroras .

About this railroad:

Because the Scandinavian mountains run through Norway, the plateau, mountain and glaciers of the country account for more than two-thirds of the total. The line is over the mountains, and it is 100 kilometers (about 470 kilometers) across the mountain and snow in the frigid desert.
When I got on the bus from Oslo, it was probably a sunny day and everything was beautiful.

Then it becomes this.

After a few more hours, suddenly the style changes, the vegetation leaves no leaves, and the cell phone shows the temperature drops below zero. At some point in the middle of the station, a little buddy with a ski outfit panted to the ground.

A few more hours to see green vegetation and gentle sunshine, and blue skies and white clouds.

Finally, a little more Bergen.

Train tickets can be purchased on the Norwegian railway website : train fares vary according to time (roughly the same as buying a plane ticket).
If it's not so much fun, one of the most rewarding choices is Norway in a Nutshell, which is the Norwegian government (or the national tourism agency?). There are a few different packages available for the launch of the Norwegian project. Please move to the official website and have an English page.
About the extension of the railway:
There is also a section worth mentioning in the whole process from Myrdal (Myrdal, a stop on the Oslo - Bergen railway line, which can get off the train to other trains) to the Flam railway.
According to the official version, it is "one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world and is one of the leading tourist attractions in Norway."
This passage is also included in Norway in a Nutshell mentioned above.
The whole trip was about an hour and the whole journey was very slow. After some famous point (such as "XXX" waterfall or what "the only one all the intersection of two trains", etc.) will have explanation (German, English and Norwegian), will also stop to let visitors see for a while. There is a point in the middle that passes through a waterfall (it's not really spectacular, it feels like it's all over the country) and stops for five minutes to take pictures of the train.
The shape (and speed) of the train is very retro, and there is the train museum after the Flam.

There are still few people on the train. (pictured above, I took the last bus in the evening, and I was the only person in the car who had to check with my grandfather.) In addition to the train route itself, Flam is a small town well worth visiting in Norway, at the heart of the island of Aurlandsfjord, close to the mountains and adjacent to Sognefjord. Many trips to the fjord, including other ways of non-train travel, will be visited. But because there aren't many people in Norway, none of this will spoil the fun and fun of the trip.

About the rest of the railway line:

There's WIFI on the train, and there's a charger (the European standard plug), and you can play with your phone, except for some rugged terrain, but the scenery is so beautiful that you forget to play with your phone.
Because I was walking on foot so I didn't have a camera, and I took some ordinary pictures with my mobile phone. So it's a bit of a challenge to provide a compelling picture of what you want to see.
The picture below is a view of what I saw when suddenly I was startled by the sudden arrival of spring in the snow. (it was a few days ago, and the summer solstice in northern Europe is barely dark.)
