It's amazing to see those steam locos built in 1915 still hauling those trains climbing bravely, if I had a chance I'll go there to trip, this country is as my home state here in Brazil, high altitude and a lot of fun !!!

La più bella linea ferroviaria del mondo, progettata e costruita dagli italiani e riattivata dagli eritrei. Osservate la precisione del tracciato e la maestria con cui sono stati edificati in pietra i ponti ed i contrafforti. E' un monumento all'ingegno ed al lavoro umano, dovrebbe entrare a fare parte dei siti Unesco come patrimonio dell'umanità. Grazie Eritrea per aver preservato tutto questo!

Thank you for this glimpse of these locomotives. The atmospheric views and sounds are literary...novelesque, the landscape and people timeless....your chapter format great fun!

A beautiful video of a magnificent railway with wonderful mallet locomotives. You've captured the country and its people as well as the railway with great skill - congratulations.

Magic! Some scenes are like a model railway.

Dwayne And just think, this system was bombed out of existence during their War for Independence, by the Ethiopians. To get it back in some sort of running order is a credit to the Eritrean people, as a symbol of that independence, Sure the engines pre-date independence, but you've got to work with what you've got. Good on you Eritrea!!

+KochersbergTV I love your great pictures taken in Nefasit, because of all that people moving around... very "real" steam in a daily life scenery!

I want to pause and appreciate that 13:28 shows 7 cars and 8 pistons. It is really cool to see a railroad that needs a lot of power for its steep grades, and also rounds curves that make the flanges sing.

Beautiful video, those Italians knew how to build a railway line .

Watching the crew cranking the turntable and the transfer table gives a new meaning to black power. Those guys sure bust their butts to keep the line in operation.

Brilliant video,a place that is hardly mentioned. Those mallet locos are beautiful!

Magnificent! Thank you very nice.

Great video of a fantastic railroad. Nice little mallets with no tender. I wonder how can they do mainline work without it. I guess they make frequent fuel stops These locomotives do not seen to use coal as fuel as they do not smoke so much. Are they fuel oil fired ? These little railroad should be a major tourist attraction in a wealthy country. Congratulation to the people of Eritrea for keeping this jewel operational.

_"Nice little mallets with no tender. I wonder how can they do mainline work without it."_ They're tank engines. Water is in the saddle tanks on each side of the boiler. Fuel is in a bunker located behind the cab. Still, they do have a more limited supply of fuel and water than a more conventional locomotive with a tender.

Brilliant video! It looks amazing!

Fantastic!,thanks for sharing.

great video many thanks

For the Eritrean locomotives, you may take a look at the Italian model manufacturers. Similar locomotives ware used in Italy. As for the Nilgiri ones, it is a bit more complicated. However the DFB is restoring two 0-8-0 locomotives (from Vietnam), which are pretty similar to those in the Nilgiri. That may be of interest for a Swiss model manufacturer.

No wonder they seem to hop along the tracks, they have no poney trucks.
