Chemin de fer de Mines de la Birmanie : Namtu
2014: 100 ans!
La région de Namtu a fait face à de sévère pluie durant la saison sèche. Cinq sections de ligne entre Tiger Camp et ER Vallée ont été endommagées, même le railtruck ne passait plus. Les travaux de reconstruction ont démarré dès la fin des pluies, tout ne fût pas réparé mais nous avons pu monter jusque ER Vallée. De là un peu de marche à pieds et un camion nous ont permis d’atteindre Bawdwin et l’usine.
La situation du chemin de fer des mines est en baisse, malgré que le nouvel investisseur laisse fonctionner la partie jusque Wallah par la gorge ; les camions ont pris le relais entre Bawdwin et Namtu pour le transport du zinc.
En fin de séjour le "rouleau compresseur à vapeur" a été allumé pour notre plus grand plaisir.
Puis nous avons parcouru quelques kilomètres jusqu'à l'ancienne fonderie de Mill sur la branche de jonction vers Namyao.

Burma Mines Railway: Namtu
2014: 100 years!
In Namtu the situation was different. They faced severe rain in the dry season. Five small sections of the track between Tiger Camp and E.R. Valley were damaged and couldn’t even be passed by a railcar. We asked them to repair as much as they could, but they replied they can’t do anything before the rain stops. Eventually it stopped raining, but the time wasn’t sufficient to repair all the broken sections. But they managed it, at least, to the second reversal and the pagoda. From there we had to take a railcar. The light railcar was able to go up to E.R. Valley. As the railcar in Bawdwin is broken and couldn’t take us we had to walk from here. At the first possible point a road truck took us to the mine and the concentrator plant.
Since our last visit, the situation of the railway had become depressing. Although the new investor let them work the track through to Walla Gorge, he’d decided to use trucks for the lead and zinc transport from Bawdwin to Namtu.
At the end of trip the "steam roller " was switched on for our most great pleasure.
Then we traveled some kilometers up to the old foundry of Mill on the branch of junction towards Namyao.
Great video, very well done! And what a marvelous little railroad! It's like taking a trip back in time.

Thank you so much! I came across this by chance. I was born in Bawdwin when my father was an engineer in the mine. I wanted to visit my birthplace but it is proving to be very difficult. Through your video I am able to see where I was born... Again thank you for this experience

BRASIL-Bhte/MG, 05/02/2022. Tenho 66 anos e tive o privilégio de conhecer e " pegar traseira " em maria-fumaça na cidade de Montes Claros, norte do estado de Minas Gerais. Sou fascinado e fico viajando com êsses vídeos. 👏👏👏👍👍👍

I saw a dinosaurs! Two men sitting at the front of steam engine and throwing sand on rails for friction... Ingenious! Road roller with rope guided wheel, incredible!

The road roller was steered with a chain, not a rope
Great journey on Myanmar steam engine. Nantu mines. Takes me back 50 years in the past.

Towards the end... please remember ... arguements about " right-of-way ' with steamrollers are rarely productive !

Merci beaucoup ! Bon visionnage sur notre chaîne
That was a nice looking Aveling roller in it's work clothes. I wonder what the fate of these steam reclics are? Are the locals proud of them, or are they ready to cut them up in favor of modernization?
The modernization will not come by the railroad but regrettably by the road...
