See here. It’s the one passenger train they have in Cambodia. I’ve not ridden it, but I’ve always heard you could actually outrun it at a slow jog. Best to use it for only short hops.
Excerpt: “The fastest I clocked it with my GPS was 17kph. That’s fast enough that if you want to take a jog you can just hop out the back and run along. The journey from Battambang, a city reasonably close to the Thai border, to Phnom Penh takes four hours by air conditioned bus. I’ve been on the train for 17 hours now and there’s been no word on when we’ll finally arrive. The official timetable claimed it would be 5 hours ago.”
A Texan was bragging to an Irishman, ‘At home you can get on a train in the morning, ride all day, and at sundown you’ll still be in Texas!’
The Irishman says, ‘Aye. We have slow trains in Ireland as well.’
“The sun has riz,
The sun has set,
And here I is,
in Texas yet.”
There was a branch line in the mountains west of Sydney (it’s long closed). The train was famously slow. Legend has it that in the depression, a drifter was walking to town beside the line, and the engineer stopped the train and asked the man if he’d like to jump aboard and save his legs.
“No thanks. I’m in a hurry.”
There’s one near my house that they swear is still active.
I’ve been waiting about twenty five years for it to go by.
