One of the most spectacular railway journeys in the world is the Flamsbanen (the railway to Flam).  Starting high in the mountains at Myrdal on the Bergen to Oslo line, the Flamsbanen descends a steep grade requiring special locomotives to get the fjord side at Flam.  More modern locomotives have replaced the Norges Stat Bahn E9 pictured.
