Walking Dogs along Train Tracks in Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Good idea or not ? In any case, watch out for that train.

Morning walk with my dogs and a boarding dog in the country side of Kampot.

The most diplomatic reply I can think of is “not”.

There must be a very good reason why walking along train tracks is illegal in the west.

Can't think what it could be though.

Boarding dog? I wouldn't be too happy if the person I paid to look after a dog did that

Imagine if the lady that was attacked at 3am had posted a similar thing before her attack.
A photo of herself making her way home through the tranquility that is Kampot at night. Maybe with some equally benign comment to go with the photo.

I wouldn’t recommend this, especially if it was the UK or some other place with busy commuter and express train traffic, but in Cambodia, if your aware of the rail timetable and avoid the couple of times a day that trains rumble along the tracks, why not? It’ll help keep their claws short.
It’s probably a lot safer than walking them along a road where there’s way more risk from cars trucks and motos being driven erratically.
You never know, a dog walker might just save the life of one of those folk who think it’s ok to sleep on the tracks.

She's not walking along the tube lines at Hammersmith Broadway lads

It's a line that has two of the slowest trains in the world on it twice a day, which need 8-10 hours to traverse 160km

Safe to say neither she nor her dogs will be scythed down by a fast moving express train

Not even any passenger trains running lately so probably only a couple of freight trains. Not difficult to hear/see coming. So yeah, this is not newsworthy.
