The railway is the best in the world.The Scenic Railway is reputedly the steepest cable-driven funicular railway in the world, with an incline of 52 degrees, over a distance of 415 metres.

It was originally constructed for a coal and oil shale mining operation in the Jamison Valley in the 1880s, in order to haul shale from the valley floor up the cliff to the escarpment above. It was converted for use as a tourist attraction prior to World War II.

Built in 1958, the Scenic Skyway is another cable-driven conveyance at Scenic World. It travels across the gorge above the Katoomba Falls, 200 metres above the valley floor. The original Scenic Skyway was removed early in 2004 and replaced by a new cable car.
