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
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.
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.
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)....
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!
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.
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.
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.
Wowzer! It must feel like a time machine riding it! Love from Shanghai

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.

Sir you are Tamil civilian ?
If not please keep away just worry about our great people

Thank you. That's quite alright. I am sure they are friendly to all visitors. My wife's niece was raped and killed by government soldiers.
This video of yours took me back to my childhood nostalgic steam locomotives memory Excellent videography I would love to watch again and again.

Great video. Thanks for posting this.
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. 🚂👍🙏
A very good Heritage Ride of the Train by steam haulage
🐍💲👌🇮🇳🙏
Nice to see tokens being exchanged at stations for the respective single track sections
*Excellent video! All the best from Vietnam*
Thank you dear ! 🇱🇰
Amazing video . One of the best i seen in a long time. Thanks for posting. Peace to all . Ireland 🇮🇪. & USA 🇺🇸.
Good to see an engine that isn't leaking steam from every joint.
Really enjoyed this, all old stuff, great views, and life as it really is, brilliant.

No kidding, they were still doing that as late as the 60's?
As a Sri Lankan I am happy to see this video

If she goes on the 9 Arches at Ella, it might as well be the Harry Potter train! Well, minus few compartments :)!

In Sri Lanka 5 persons reqd to run a steam loco?
The footplate crew includes staff from the Workshop, and advisers as the loco did not perform as good as it should.
Nice video
Wonderful video with nice coverage of greenery and lovely landscapes with beautiful NG steam engine train. Is this train travelling today?

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.
Fantastic ❤️❤️❤️
Nice train, I would love to visit India one day soon. Very nice and polite people, way more then the AMerican's I know , and I'm American.
It's Sri Lanka
Trem de 1900 ??
Nice ride.
Is it still running? And where in SL?
This was a Special Train. The steam locos usually operate the Vice Roy excursions.
