Your reply does not indicate whether you are Tamil or not. I am not a Tamil, I am a humanitarian. If your people are not Tamils, I am not worried about your murderous people. If Tamils commit atrocities against non-Tamils, then they should be apprehended. A violent act by some does not condone the slaughter of innocents. I am ashamed of the illegal invasion of Iraq by Australian soldiers and non-Tamils should be ashamed of what they have done as well .
@@kentrobison588 I like your comment very good great job My 1st comment was very simple I was been in Sri Lanka only one time for just three days Cities was very nice people how I was met were nice Sorry If you didn't like my previous reply
I love your comment, But India is the first country which forcefully intruded our airspace and put a burden on our country, destroyed our country. Even today we are suffering from that burden. One of your late Prime Ministers was responsible for that, may be due to that reason, destroying our country, he was killed by a terrorist.
Very good video of lovely countryside and a fascinating steam engine. I was on a business trip to Lanka in Dec. 1990 and was based in Kandy for nearly 2 weeks but saw very little evidence of much rail traffic of any sort, and none of it steam. I'd love to return for a visit and take a ride on this train especially (or any Sri Lankan passenger service, actually). And I grieve for the country these days and the fuel crisis it's going through -- may it soon be resolved and let Lanka prosper in peace! Actually I'd love to return for a real vacation in Sri Lanka for ANY reason -- the people I met were so kind and welcoming, their history and culture fascinating, and the food fabulous! So much of the country is beautiful scenery -- and studded with many gorgeous waterfalls as well as ancient temples and impressive structures built centuries ago by Lankan lords. (My group of visitors and hosts took several road trips out of Kandy, such as to Anuradhapura and Nuwara Eliya, plus a long drive from N.Eliya back to Colombo via Rajatnapura and other southern towns.) FWIW, I'm from the USA and have only the highest regard for the delights of Lanka and the greatest sympathy for the troubles its lovely people have endured.
Fascinating locomotive... a very British mixture of advanced practice (outside Walschaerts gear and Piston Valves) and old fashioned practice (combined riveted saddle and smokebox wrapper)....
Wow! Awesome! I didn't think these trains existed anymore. India had some nice ones that they put away. Bangladesh too had some beautiful old steam locomotives that they put away. They had people that loved the old trains that would work for free. I thought it was some international thing because they are very high polluting trains. Notice the carriages are far from the engine because of the smoke.
They are still hooping up orders! I broke my finger on the U.P. in Grand Junction Colorado in the '60s catching orders from an order stick. Never missed a day of work either. Boy, times were sure different back then!
Beautiful video. I felt as though I am travelling in Srilanka. At least that country have retained the Steam Engine. Otherwise how could we have enjoyed? I remembered block buster hindi movie SHOLAY. Thanks for the video.
We used to live in Mannar in the 1950 and 1960 and used to travel on the sleeping compartments night train to Colombo it was a overnight trip and enjoyed the trip also used to travel from Mt Lavinia to Wawduwa daily from St Thomas College and back home each night ,Love those days of steam trains , Is there in 2024 still tourist trains operating any where in Sri Lanka 😂😂❤❤❤"………
Very interesting railroad I've never seen I train from Sri Lanka before especially a a steam locomotive I'm just curious what gauge is your track is that 5 foot 3 in Broad gauge cuz that doesn't looks like standard gauge interesting video beautiful landscape interesting tunnels thank you for sharing this Railroad I love trains from all over the world especially Steam locomotive peace out have a great day
Raymond Leggs in good old days these tender tankers were used to haul trains in the incline. They reduced the wheel slipping by filling these tanks with water and gained the weight of the locomotive as I heard.
Very nice run and love the fact that the engine and signals are clearly British!! Sad we seem to have lost our way. Of tomorrow to go on steam railways in Wales for a week.

yes, the strong support and assistence of local tour operators and railway staff made this train possible.
In 2000 I was in Sri Lanka
I visited Colombo to kandy city
Beautiful country and people
The army murdered 40 000 Tamil civilians. Many were tortured.

This video of yours took me back to my childhood nostalgic steam locomotives memory Excellent videography I would love to watch again and again.
I road that in mid 70's. I live Sri Lanka and India when steam was the tech of the day.
What a cool train, Sri Lankans are lucky.
@Harsha Gihan No, I mean it. Whatever downsides there might be to living in Sri Lanka, they have steam trains and that's super cool.
@Harsha Gihan steam-locomotives are not used regularly there. But nevertheless great video. 🚂👍🙏
Superb Video. Greetings from India 🇮🇳
Lovely video thanks for posting. A glimpse of the past.
They've retained everything - semaphore signals, token exchange, the lot. So nostalgic!👍
More of not upgraded the line....

I live in kandy and travel a lot to Colombo by train but I have never seen that train In my whole life.
Good to see an engine that isn't leaking steam from every joint.
My best friend and his wife went in Sri Lanka for their honeymoon and they had told me trains were amazing
A very good Heritage Ride of the Train by steam haulage

I'm proud to be a SRI LANKAN🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
This is very scenic route and should be promoted as a tourist ride.

Yes.. good condition
Nice video work..
Nice Video I Enjoyed This Video
Its unusual to see a tender loco with side tanks.
Raymond Leggs in good old days these tender tankers were used to haul trains in the incline. They reduced the wheel slipping by filling these tanks with water and gained the weight of the locomotive as I heard.
Very nice run and love the fact that the engine and signals are clearly British!!
