I am not usually posting videos of diesel operated lines, but I just want to make an exception. This meter gauge line was opened in 1906 and was, until recently, the only way to access fabulous caves. For all sorts of reasons, it has been decided to close the line and no one knows the fate of the historical railcars, dating back the 1930's. Because of the closure of the line, the entrance to the cave has been modified from fabulous to just boring.
