Is it the same train or somewhere else?

Not Cambodia. You will see the railway sleepers are made of wood. The new line PP to Snooky is all concrete sleepers .


Old wooden sleepers




New concrete sleepers,,,, but for where ?

i think they will connect to Thai and Viet rail eventually?
The funding was already allocated in 2013 if i recall correctly.
Kith Meng is the operator.

HAHA ! 2013 funding., Wonder where that $ is tday

The funding may have been allocated, that doesn't mean it has come through yet. The Toll Railways budget to refurbish the railway was tiny, something like $40 million. The project had quite a few hiccups and Toll pulled out a couple of times. One big issue was all the squatters who had built their shacks along the railway. That delayed things by years.

That's in Thailand, I've seen that market pop up in a lot of videos and documentaries.

From our friend Mr GT. This is so moving, even at 30 kph and just wow that the Holy Spirit has appeared among us.

Traveling by train, although the speed little bit faster, but ensure the safety and traffic congestion as travel by car. I walked through the carriages from one to greet people, including monks, Grandma, Grandpa, youth and children, many grandchildren who traveled by train with me. You looked happy with me. I am also delighted to have met with those who come from remote areas and are heading to the diversity and photographed (selfie) together.

When being hired at the train station, I had the opportunity to visit people and learn about the lives and the lives of the brothers. Although sometimes you never met me in person, but my mind and heart is always with fellow countrymen.

I wish all the people who were traveling on the train with me safe journey and good luck everyone.

Def take the train UT. Looks really cool. I hope they will keep it running.

Lyrics for Cambodia

You know I saw Ms Lao Si down along the tracks

She bought a load of skin whitener so she won't be turning black

Without loi, without loi, where would she be right now?

Well Phnom Penh Central station

And that Southern Shitsville date

Gotta keep on paying Mamasan

Cause you know that is her fate

Without loi...where would you be now?
