Each journey is accompanied by a map of the route and is described in terms of the technical challenges of building the railroad as well as the stunning views to be seen while travelling on the trains. Some of the railway journeys featured include the Harz narrow-gauge railroad in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany; the Indian Pacific which runs across Australia from Perth to Sydney; India's Darjeeling Himalayan Railways; and the spectacular railroads in the Canadian Rockies.
