Ride the Ferrocarril Central Andino! Part 4: Through the highest railroad tunnel in the world!

- The 4th and final part of our journey up the Ferrocarril Central Andino. This section picks up at the Casapalca switchbacks and covers some of the most scenic sections of the railroad as it passes through the desolate treeless landscape of the high Peruvian mountain country. We will pass through 7 tunnels perched high on a rock ledge before passing Lake Ticlio and then plunging into the 3/4 mile long Galera tunnel, the highest standard gauge railroad tunnel in the world and to Galera yard, the 2nd highest point on any railroad in the world at 15,681 ft surpassed only recently by the Chinese Railway line to Lhasa. I apologize for the sound quality and focusing issues, I am going to blame the altitude for this user error.

Gracias siempre quise recordar ese maravilloso tramo de nuestro FCC del Peru and memoria a mi Padre ;quien fuera una vez Secretario General de Rodantes Ferroviarios del Peru. (1967 a 1970 ) Jose German Tejeda Montes de Mendoza QEPD esta ruta fue su ultima de los 20 años antes de jubilarse por alla 1992 en la Estacion de Chosica Lima- Desamparados .
We travelled these lines in the late 50's as a family. My dad was a mining engineer and ran the concentrator for Cerro Mining Corp at Cerro de Pasco, well beyond Ticlio, at 14K feet. The town just past this high point is called Morococha. Beyond this point is Cerro de Pasco and also the coal mining site of Gollarisguisga. Life is tough for young gringo families living at these altitudes.
It must be tough for all humans up here!
I've "traveled" all four videos and the journey is just crazy amazing. Beautiful, thrilling, and in some ways beyond my comprehension. Thank you for these videos. Truly remarkable.
Thank you, really glad you and many others are enjoying sharing my experience.
WOW ! I watched all 4 videos , and I am very happy to see this lovely country . Very courajous they are ! Nobody imagine behind that high mountains hide such surprising things ! Lovely country . Thank you so much . Love from Brazil .
May I say, this video series is my lifetime worth watching, Best thing is the placement of camera, full nature's view. Thank you very much
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello from Pittsburgh, PA. I have viewed thousands of train videos but your series on this line has to top my list as the most spectacular and breathtaking I have ever had the pleasure to watch. It is amazing that those old diesels can operate at those high altitudes! Thank you so much for allowing the CZcams train viewers around the world to be a part of great adventure.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video series, ! It was an amazing experience to ride this line and happy to share it with everyone on youtube. Indeed it is amazing that the C39-8s which everyone wrote off as junk in the US have had such an amazing second career.
Shows what turbo-chargers can do. Original steam trains ran fine, new diesels could hardly run themselves until they put on turbochargers.
This is one of the most amazing rides I've ever seen!
Galera tunnel is such a creepy, but fascinating, ride.
25:50 Seeing the two red signal lights appear up ahead makes it look like a red-eyed monster was waiting to block the train.
I could watch the whole series and I’m stocked. I’ve been there crossing the Andes by car but never by train. What an amazing experience and thank you very much!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video, we crossed by car too but the train was far more memorable.
Hard to admire the scenery if your job is to watch the road while driving. Also railway lines tend to travel through less disturbed landscapes compared to highways.
El ferrocarril es una obra maestra, aplausos para todos los que colaboraron en su construcción ,saludos desde Chile
What wonderful videos. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and at such high altitude. In my state of health I wouldn't last five minutes up there but it's so wonderful to see it all. Thank you for giving us all the privilege.
Thank you, Im glad that you enjoyed the videos. Just walking at those altitudes for me was tiring, I don't know how the guys who maintain this railroad do it.
Yo fui testigo de aquellos viajes hermosos y me siento orgulloso de haberlos vivido en mi juventud
Thousands of salute to those who are constructed this railway line.
Never seen such overspending on a railroadline
@Showdown. True that a lot of money was used to build the rail line. But it was a necessity to connect from the capital of Lima and the rest of the Peruvian coast to the Andies Mountains towns/communities to help strengthen the transportation structure of Peru.
K.d.chinivala. A thrilling journey to Highest bridge.Marvelous excellent engering skills.salutes to executioner's.

A melhor viagem virtual que já fiz em toda a minha vida. SENSACIONAL! GRACIAS
Impresionante el viaje, lo he visto desde el primero hasta el cuarto reportaje, el paisaje de los Andes es maravilloso y en algunas tomas da miedo, parece increíble que esa máquina pase por algunos tramos con precipicio a ambos lados, da vértigo, y las subidas me fatigaba hasta yo viéndolo, la guinda del pastel es ese último túnel nº60 de casi 2km de largo, en fin es extraordinario el viaje, Un saludo
Amazing video, but more amazing the planning and building of this railroad line.
Hlo friend
Congratulations! Excellent video depicting the dramatic scenery and the awesome engineering of the line! Bravo!
What a breath-taking journey. Enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks.
Fantastic series. They must have dug those tunnels by hand, it would be near impossible to bring bulldozing equipment up there at that altitude, It is an engineering achievement.
Best train videos I have ever watched, scenery fantastic
super series, not only top of the world in tunnel altitude but the film itself also tops similar videos, thank you very much!
Amazing journey through the 4 part series. Thank you.
Thanks for watching all 4 parts, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank You for Your brilliant 4 Part Videos-- VERY different to Driving Trains in Western Australia--we are flat compared to THIS--. ALL HONOUR TO THE SURVEYORS AND WORKMEN THAT BUILT THIS MASTERPIECE OF ENGINEERING! I assume You--The Locomotive Crew and the Diesel Locomotive--all had a little bit of difficulty--finding some OXYGEN---at the Peak.
Sensacional, assisti a todos os videos e estou encantada. Parabens daqui de São Paulo, Brasil

I sure did enjoy that. I’ve been through all four segments TWICE in the last week.
The most amazing train ride I have seen up too now. Made even more spectacular by looking at it on my 86-inch 4K tv. The end was ruined by someone who kept refocusing the camera.
obra maestra de ingeniería
Obra maestra,de ingenieria

Je regarde la partie 4 , altitude aussi haute que le > en FRANCE , 4807 m , sous la neige toute l'année ! le reportage est splendide pour avoir regardé les 4 parties , le rail surprenant de vertiges aux pires ascensions , où l'on sort de la végétation pour rencontrer ce Grès - rose des montagnes ; Colorant pour en peindre le tableau majestueux , à chaque instant patrimoine céleste invraissemblable de la beauté pure et gigantesque qui exprime une part du royaume du paradis ... A hauteur des fleurs Edelweiss Silence , la regard nous emporte l'âme de précieuses émotions ! Bien a vous .... Baiser de FRANCE Europe le 22/02/18
4807 metres ..... de mon fauteuil j'ai fait un voyage merveilleux, et j'ai appris des choses !! Merci beaucoup, stupefiant comme trvail pour construire ce chemin de fer....
Increible travesia. Maravillosa.
Thanks , feeling that am on the train riding,, thank you so much..
Muito bacana..parabéns!!!!!
Beautiful-! in the middle of nowhere only nature
C'est haut ... haut .... haut ! Bravo
It is the legendary peruvian central railway, the fantasy of all trains lovers. It reaches and altitude of almost 4800 meters from sea level in just 170 km. It used to have a regular passenger service, now is basically a mining railway.
Correct though the mines were always the reason for the lines existence. There are still semi regular tourist trains in the dry season.
MAGNIFICOS LOS CUATRO VIDEOS.-
Que ecológicas estas locomotoras!
Well made. Thank you.
Very nice video!!
Thank you 😊
