This scenic train is closing its open-air carriages because people were taking too many dangerous selfies
"Despite the number of signs and announcements on board our trains pointing out the dangers of this, we have seen passengers leaning out with selfie sticks, iPads and their bodies, often unaware of an approaching tunnel which could cause a tragic incident for themselves, and others in the carriage."Courtesy Great Journeys of New Zealand
Great Journeys of New Zealand operates four major train routes through the country, including the Coastal Pacific and the TranzAlpine . KiwiRail is planning to revamp the carriages to make them safer while still providing gorgeous views of the scenery that New Zealand is famous for. Currently, there's no timeline for when and how this will happen.
