Railway: 6-Hour Steam Train Documentary | Historic Locomotives in Action (Full Video)

Описание: World Steam – A Global Journey in the Age of Steam Locomotives
Step into the golden era of steam with this epic 6-hour rail journey across continents. As steam traction faded from daily service in the 20th century, a passionate global effort kept the legacy alive—preserving, restoring, and running these iconic machines for future generations. This video showcases both preserved railways and surviving working steam across five continents.

Featured Regions:

The East
Start in Jordan on the legendary Hedjaz Railway, then take brief glimpses of Syria and deeper travels through India—home to one of the world’s last strongholds of active steam. See the narrow-gauge Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, working engines in Nepal, and a preserved Sentinel locomotive in Sri Lanka.

Britain & Western Europe
Iconic locomotives like the Flying Scotsman and Duchess of Hamilton thunder down the mainline. Explore heritage and industrial railways in Britain, miniature railways at Audley End, and preserved operations in Ireland, France, and Finland.

North, Central & South America
From scenic excursions in Missouri and coal trains in Wyoming to Union Pacific’s mighty Challenger, American steam shines. Then explore active narrow-gauge steam in Cuba, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Paraguay—where some railways remain fully steam-powered.

Eastern Europe & Africa
Watch rare Polish mainline steam and travel through Turkey’s vast landscape. In Africa, journey along South Africa’s Garden Route, visit Zimbabwe’s Garratt-powered lines, and see operational steam in Botswana’s mining sector.

Far East & Australia
Explore China's still-functioning mainline steam in the industrial north, preserved demonstrations in Japan, and narrow-gauge mountain lines in Java. Finally, enjoy high-powered mainline steam over several days of action between Melbourne and Adelaide.
