Great Railway Journeys of the World

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The sixth of seven travel films Three Miles High with Miles Kington
The highest railroad in the world climbs the Peruvian Andes. After 60 tunnels, 45 bridges and switch-backs to 15,000 feet, MILES KINGTON gives up record-breaking and takes the only rail route southwards to Bolivia. From Cuzco, the Inca capital, Kington crosses some of the finest scenery in South America, riding variously on footplate, Pullman, vintage railcar and steamer - all built in Britain.
Timetables and people he met suggested the route. So, well briefed on the local history of revolutions, Kington decided to try a smooth crossing of Lake Titicaca - the calm before the storm. He soon found the storm.
