- Facinating journey from Gokteik station to the town of Pyin Oo Lwin, on the 132 Down Train travelling southwest on the Mandalay to Lashio line, in the Shan States of Myanmar (Burma). This is a snapshot of an incredible journey and the stations visited en route, and we see lots going on as people arrive, depart, or are just there to sell their goods.
The stations visited along the journey are as follows:
Nawnghkio 3:50
Hsam Ma Hse 15:25
Sin Lan Su 18:30
Wet Wun 21:20
Pwe Kaul 27:00
The train leaves Pyin Oo Lwin at 08:22 and arrives at Hsipaw at 14:38, and is pulled by Chinese CNR locomotive, maufactured by Dalian Locomotive & Rolling Stock Co. Ltd., which had a 2000 hp CAT engine.

I'm so fascinated ny Myammar, scenery, by the railway...thanks Mark
Your welcome, thanks for the coment. It is truly a facinating country
Super video! Am floored by the virgin vegetation and cannot come to terms with the level of simplicity the burmese people exhibit, maybe not a choice! Makes me want to see more Burma videos, thank you for your efforts!
Thanks for the comment, its a beautiful contry, and really interesting place to travel. Pleased you liked the video
Espectacular hermoso paisaje viendo video desde Paraguay saludos
Mark, U have done a good job devoting long time on this clip....amazing Burmese Railways !! Many thanks...I really enjoyed ur videos made for Burma...
Thank you very much, I really appreciate your kind comment
100 per cent facination.How ever does it stay on the tracks. Amazing footage. I've never ever seen anything like it especailly the little rodent taking a ride. Amazing Mark.a big thank you for the entertainment
SMILEVIDEOTRAINS Thank you very much for such a lovely comment, it’s really appreciated. I must apologise, I uploaded the video last night and it went public, forgot to make it private, so as a consequence it didn’t any information with it, etc, but thats sorted now, if you wanted to know a bit more about the trip. Yes, amazing the train stays on the rails, think its a combination of the track and the trains suspension. After a days travel you feel like you have been on a boat out at sea, but a fantastic journey, the Myanmar Railways are amazing, lovely scenery, people and a rich history. There are a few more videos like this, including a closer look at the viaduct, to come. 😀
Cheeers. I'll keep my eye open
Looking at the track conditions, it's a miracle the train didn't derail. And the way the carriages swayed. Holy sh*t!
Hahahaha, it is certainly a ride not to be forgotten, but really enjoyable!
Bello! Saluti da Sassari, Italia
Wet Wun wins best kept station award, there's no doubt.
the track covered with grass....fantastic
dibandingkan dengan perkeretaapian di Indonesia yang lebih rapi dan maju, tapi menurut saya keren sih ini, menerjang kebun dan hutan belantara, terlihat asyik 😁
LOL! .. LOL!
Never seen something like this before, ever!
Train approaching men doing last minute repairs on the lines and wait for them to get out of the way! Incredible.
..and, also the train acting as a huge lawn mower cleaning up scrub as it goes! It's just fascinating to watch.
I guess there's no safety authority in this country to apply minimum standards. Do you know if they have many derailments?
..and, you taking a bit of a risk hanging outside the window with all these vegetation and trees touching the carriages.
Well done, it's a unique film and experience and I thank you for sharing it with us.
Hi there, thanks for the comment, its really appreciated.
Great video Mark, I just love the people scenes and the lush tropical vistas along the journey, classic Burma. Wooden seats in economy class and coach seats in first class, still a clean and tidy interior, unlike some Asian countries trains. Waste of 2,000hp of the locomotive, the train would be lucky to reach 50KMh max track speed!
Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate the comment
Feels like passing through my village.
Wow the train is so fast
FOR HEALTHY LIFE., AGRI., IS ENOUGH., FOR US. AND SPEND THIS SHORT LIFE WITH OUR HUMANS.
Thank you!
You are welcome, pleased you liked it
I almost missed the train because taking picture at Gok Tiak Bridge.
ဒီရထားစီးရတာကြိုက်ပါတယ်
Ternyata jalan kerera api ga perlu dibesihin juga jalan
สงสารรถไฟจัง เต้นระบำสุดทาง
These Burma railway videos are fascinating -- much more so than most of the ones showing perfect hi-tech trains running on perfect tracks. Switching & signaling all done with manually operated switches and colored flags, and they get the job done. I feel bad for the people. Looks like a hard life over there. Sometimes I find myself complaining about things that are, comparatively, so damned trivial. I need to stop that.
Thanks for the comment, its appreciated. It is a facinating railway, but is now starting to change fast, and much of the history I fear will be lost in the process. Its certainly a lovely way to travel.
good footage! - John
tupsters1601 thanks very much, appreciate the comment 😀
Excelente video.
Thank you very much
@@MarkRobinson555. De Nada Compa. Le recomiendo los videos de mi pagina.
Great video. A real sense of place. The rocking train plowing through the vegetation. Thank you! Is that a daily train? Do you meet other passenger trains at any point on the route? Do they derail often?
Thank you very much, really appreciate your comment. Yres its a daily service, and there are cross over points with other trains. If you look in my Myanmar playlist there are other videos of the same line, but different areas. I suspect derailments are a common thing, but I don't have any figures to quote, sorry

Relnya tindak terwat
Is it Alsthom locomotive ?
You will find full details in the video description 😀
@@MarkRobinson555Oui, Merci bien pour les détails de voyage. La locomotive CNR de la Chine. Actuellement, il y en a environ 70 en Thaïlande . La plupart des locomotives sont Alsthoms de la France.
