crossing the Goteik viaduct, Burma (Myanmar), by train


In a First World country it would be impressive, in a Third World country it is more likely to be scary.  This bridge was constructed in 1899 and is 689 metres in length from one end to the other – the maximum height is 102 metres (335 ft) from the track to the ground.
