okey, thats good news.
where does this train go? and what engines do they use?
#2. I think they are still using ama steamer. 😕 Where it goes,,,? I guess it’s still as it was during the colonial era. CB to L/stone:-w Unfortunately, we have moved three or four steps back from were the British left us.:-??
no.3 its more than four steps back – I hear 2 or 3 people walk ahead of the train to see if the sleepers are still in place as locals often use the sleepers for building or firewood.;)
What a valuable vehicle left to rot by successive MMD governments! SHAME big time.
