MYANMAR TRANSPORTATIONMYANMAR LOCOMOTIVE HISTORY
For railway buffs, the chugging wheels, billowing smoke and boxy design of an earlier industrial era exercise such a powerful pull that they travel the globe tracking down the last steam locos. To inspect some 40 steam locos still in service and ride behind them on five lines, including one to a hard-to-reach mining site dating back to 1908. There are also special tourist charters, quaint stations and a repair yard in Yangon that could pass for a medieval blacksmith's shed. It's a local line in every sense of the word, and the scenes within and around the train are probably not unlike those of 1877 when the British colonials launched Myanmar's first rail service.
