    Metro-North's Hudson Line is also very scenic.

    Ahem. *Second* most scenic railway in the world. The winner
    is in Japan.

    ThererCOs a few in Switzerland that IrCOd rate above the S&C.

    One of my top railway experiences is seeing at the sun setting down
    Dentdale in the snow.

    The view over Manhattan from the Hell Gate Bridge is quite a view,
    especially when the sun is setting. That will become more accessible to regular commuters sometime between 2027-2030, when Penn Access from the
    New Haven Line starts to operate.
