Ive seen the Ecuadorean episode of Great railway journeys here on bbc world . Most of it was on the railcar ( bus on rail wheels ) from the coast up into the mountains . ( a journey i have done myself ) . breathtaking scenery , and all the tourists sitting on the roof of the bus . The Quito to Guayaquil section is done mostly by bus , unfortunately the rail line was damaged and unusable . They do show the devils switchback section though .
Other interesting epsiodes were Cuba , and a West African train , from Dakar to Mali .

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
