Join the Mile High Club at Ghum on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
Actually, on the track at Ghum on the DHR, you will be 1.4 miles high based on virtual sea level and 1.3 miles higher than the Trainz baseboard datum.
Methinks this may be a record, what other routes can claim a 1.3 mile high mountain. Routes that start at a high level do not count. To count you must start at 125 metres and your rails must top out at over 2232 metres, not just a mountain, it must be a mountain railway.
Just a bit of trivia to cheer you all up.
Cheers
