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.

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 .

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.

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.

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.
