Impossible Places | Dangerous Roads and Rails Still Open Today | 4K Travel Documentary
Around the globe, a handful of dangerous roads and railways could have been closed long ago. Nearly all are still in use. Here we look at 18 routes in America and beyond. In California, the Tehachapi Loop lets a long freight train pass over its own tail. In Utah, the Lucin Cutoff crosses the Great Salt Lake, red water on one side and green on the other.

Several of these routes are defined by the land around them. On France's Passage du Gois, the sea covers the road twice a day. In Switzerland, the Glacier Express is called the slowest express train in the world. In this 4K travel documentary, you will see how each crossing stays open.

If you're ready to explore the roads and rails people refused to give up, this journey is for you. Follow XPlanet TV for more remote, dangerous, and unreal places from every corner of the Earth.
