   <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>Autumn is a wonderful season to travel, and a train window is a great way to soak up the glorious colours of passing natural landscapes. Some railways even operate special trains during the weeks when the spectrum of yellows, golds and oranges is at its most appealing. Here are some of the lines in the northern hemisphere renowned for their autumn beauty, and, in some cases, places en route to be visited for the same reason.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>The world\u2019s most scenic rail journeys in autumn\u2026<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

The valley has such steep slopes that there is thankfully no major road to defile its beauty, so this narrow-gauge railway journey between the Swiss canton of Ticino and Italy is the best way to enjoy it. The name comes from the hundred side valleys that the train has to leap over by often spectacular bridges and viaducts, and the railway serves a series of stone villages huddled round Italianate church towers. Nine of the twelve stations are request stops, often used by walkers hiking the network of footpaths through the woods. From Intragna, a cablecar ascends to Costa for a delightful walk though walnut woods to Cremaso, and another stretches from Verdasio station to the unspoilt hill village of Rasa, which cannot be reached by car.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Leaving Koblenz, the Eltz Forest nature reserve enfolds Eltz Castle, one of Germany\u2019s most dramatically sited fortifications. Neat ranks of vines climb above the railway and add to the colours of the trees, dominated by the beech whose cover extends into the distant hills of the Hunsr\u00fcck. The villages are compelled to stretch along the river by the steep slopes behind them, and every patch of ground with enough soil and sun for vines is used.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

The open-sided or windowed carriages crawl along during the most scenic parts of the journey, some sections of line burrowing through an avenue of trees. The line crosses the Hozukyo ravine at a sinuous point in the river valley, affording a view over an unbroken mass of autumn colour smothering the valley sides. The best time is mid-November to early December. The journey can be done both ways or by taking the train back to Kyoto from Umahori station, about five minutes\u2019 walk from Kameoka Torokko station.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:<\/strong> <a title=\"japan by rail trip planner\" href=\"\/inspiration\/japan-by-rail-trip-planner\/\">Plot your perfect Japanese rail adventure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

The Dovre Railway is named after the range of mountains it crosses at 1,006m (3,300ft) to reach the Dovrefjell mountain plateau, home to a population of 300 wild musk ox. Birch, spruce and fir populate the forests flanking much of the railway to Norway\u2019s former capital at Trondheim, the trees punctuated by ox blood-painted farm buildings. The railway skirts Norway\u2019s largest lake, Mj\u00f8sa, where the world\u2019s oldest working paddle-steamer takes passengers on excursions, to reach the winter sports centres of Lillehammer and Vinstra in the Gudbrandsdalen Valley. A steep, winding descent of a gorge lined with waterfalls that will soon freeze leads to the Trondheim lowlands.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

Opened in 1868, the railway scales the highest peak in New Hampshire\u2019s White Mountains, climbing above the tree line for the alternative attractions of a 360-degree panorama and dramatic sunsets. Tree species and colours change as the train ascends, beech, birch and sugar maple giving way to red spruce and fir before reaching the sub-alpine zone of dwarf trees, often subjected to ferocious winds \u2013 until 1996 the mountain had recorded the world\u2019s highest wind speed, of 231mph.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:<\/strong> <a title=\"best USA rail journeys\" href=\"\/inspiration\/best-usa-rail-journeys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The USA\u2019s most spectacular rail journeys<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-non-acf-block wak-non-acf-block-core-heading\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.

The country\u2019s longest railway journey links Seoul and its second largest city, Busan on the south coast, and a good way to cross the country, perhaps breaking the journey at Darjeon to visit the Jangtaesan Recreational Forest for its gingko and metasequoia trees and dizzying suspension footbridge across a gorge.
