Looks Great to me. It's good an industrial railway has found a recreational use:-)))

I went on today 13/03/2010 and it was really amazing.

The trip is completely safe. just follow the instructons given prior to the trip. The guides are very friendy and cheerful.

Is it safe?

The train is open at the sides-has anyone

fallen out of the train yet or gotten injuredfrom putting their arms out?

Why hasn't the dam got safety fences at the top?It doesn't look like the fence there

will stop small children from falling through.

@cavador2001 Well, you are warned not to put your arms out of the train. There are safety bars across openings of cars, and they will alert the train driver if opened. It would take a concerted effort to fall out. It's perfectly safe unless you act like a fool. There is certainly no way this could be done in the States, though. Lots of fun! No self-respecting train fan should miss this. Wife and I enjoyed this in January 2010.
