Cambodian villagers make a living ferrying foreign tourists up and down the one-way train track. These bamboo trains were used to transport goods and livestock when the country’s regular train service was disrupted during the civil war. These days, local villagers make a living ferrying foreign tourists up and down the one-way track. “We want the tourists to experience local living to the fullest.”The department plans to run 12 bamboo trains on the new track. “The old nori track could be dismantled as part of the restoration of the Battambang to Pursat railway track, but it all depends on the Royal Group which has a licence from the government to control the northwestern railway line,” he added.
