Hotel Chicago So it was with a certain amount of trepidation that I approached the ticket booth. The advent of internet bookings has left the railway struggling to meet demand, especially during the busy tourist season. Online Booking Each journey to the top is made by just a single carriage pushed along either by the more romantic steam engine or a modern diesel.

Orlando Hotel Soon after the train came to a halt and we disembarked for half an hour of sightseeing before the decent back to the station.
