Trains in Sri Lanka

 

There are some wonderful train rides in Sri Lanka such as coming down to Colombo with the extremely slow 5.00 a.m. train from Kandy which stops at pretty every settlement until it reaches Galle at around early lunch time before heading to Matara as it's turning point from where it is returning back straight reaching Kandy at an estimated time of 9 p.m. if there is no locomotive breaking down or other unforeseen event that even may cause a full stop and often a discomforting journey over situation.

 

Anyway, in 2010 the Sri Lankan government has given orders to modernize the railway system which could truly help to improve the economy and the life of the Sri Lankan citizens a lot.

Sri Lanka is using the slogan "a land like no other" to promote tourism and one certainly may call the Sri Lankan railway system "some trains like no other" though unfortunately things have changed since China has been using the country as a dumping place for outdated inner city carriages with truly uncomfortable plastic seats and no toilets.

At least the electricity seems more reliable but even the totally run down old carriages were much more comfortable and charming than these fairly ugly Chinese donations that don't really match the needs of long distance travelers who like to enjoy such wonderful few from the old ancient colonial seats that we all love to see in the old movies.

Such an early morning wash in some jungle river is not a rare variation of the real Sri Lankan life style in the country side.
