Cambodia's Slow Train
by Jerry Redfern

Travelling by train in Cambodia is a slow affair at best. It takes 14 hours to make the 300-kilometer trip west from the capital Phnom Penh to Battambang, if you’re lucky. Still the route less travelled for adventurous tourists, it remains the main mode of transportation for the poorest of the poor. The rolling stock, mostly cast offs from various European railroads, is now dilapidated, bullet-scarred and the locomotives often break down. After years of turmoil almost none of the foreign investment that is pouring into the country has gone to refurbish this basic transport link.
