This is the first time I’ve been on the new train down Penang Hill. Normally I walk up and down but my friend wanted to go on the train where her car was parked and I have never been so I followed her. The ride takes 4 mins. I have sped up the video.
Enjoy the ride and the view x
A must watch if you have never experienced Penang Hill train ride. The ride down in fast forward is like a rollercoaster.
The ride time:ย 4.5 mins
Length 1.997 KM : Longest in Asia
Tunnel Gradient 27.9 Degrees : Steepest tunnel in the world
Operational since 1923 but upgraded in 2010
Operational hours: 6.30am – 9pm daily
The view is spectacular and the timing is impeccable as another train is seen crossing.
If you are visiting Penang, go check it out out!

It’s a pretty ride. I guess im comparing it to the old train that took forever as if someone was pulling it manually ;p

If you say so. I don’t like roller coasters! If it was going slower, I know you said you sped it up, I might enjoy it. ๐
