Bamboo line on french tracks...in old colony, still there and in use

Here a very old line, used now by the local.





Here what the link said about on youtube :
"These trains run through the countryside around Battambang in Cambodia. They are an incredibly simple design and as the name suggest are made of a considerable amount of bamboo, which gives great strength for little weight. They run on the old railway lines that were built by the French when Cambodia was still a colony. So who gets right of way? Well the rule is the train with the most passengers gets right of way. However if a train is carrying a motorbike it has right of way over a train carrying more passengers. However everyone seems to take it in their stride and help each other out in taking the trains off the tracks."

Fabulous film. I didn´t realise that they were also taking a chicken for the ride - as we see at the end of the film.
