The "Krasnoyarsk HEP ship transloader" mentioned in Darios post is certainly an impressive device although I'm not sure if many of us would regard it as being a railway in the normal sense of the word.
At the risk of being unpatriotic I can't really think of anything rail-related in the U.K. that warrants Wonder of the World status other than perhaps the Forth Bridge or Channel Tunnel.
My nomination would be the 125 year old Swiss Gotthard Railway between Erstfeld and Bodio which carries in excess of 200 trains per day. It has gradients of 1 in 37/38, dozens of bridges and tunnels including 7 spirals and a 15km summit tunnel.
