Bamboo Railway - Cambodia

November 2006 Enterprising locals in Battambang, Cambodia, have developed a unique railway. It's made from recycled tank wheels, small motorcycle engines and lashings of bamboo. Cambodia's main train service only runs four times a month and derailments are common. Little wonder locals prefer a different option. 'Norries' are little more than bamboo slabs with wheels and run on the state-built track. With a top speed of 50 km per hour, the norry network is far superior to the train. As one driver explains; "People like these because they're fast and on time". Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

@edoboleyn The killing fields aren't in use right now. I wonder for how long? All rat-brained commies know how to do is steal and murder.

@farmersfuel Don't worry, you'll be safe. You seem not to have "excelled" at reading a book. The killing fields are no longer in use.

I'm not going to disagree with general praise of personal initiative, but please note that the host said the norrie fleet "boomed" in the 90s when the UN provided motors. I also have to wonder if the "legitimate" train moves so slowly because it has to worry about not running over norries. Still, a shining example of promise of libertarianism in practice! So superior to us middle-class sheeple, with our indoor plumbing and dependable electricity ... can you detect the sarcasm, disciPauls?

All the Communist-loving leftists in Europe and the US should move to Cambodia. They could have a wonderful time living in filth, slaving endlessly just to maintain a near-starvation level of subsistence, and riding shitty little carts up and down railroad tracks. Periodically, they could murder anyone who excels at anything. It would be a leftist's paradise.

This is the sort of get-up-and-go that is so missing from America's under-utilized railways :-)
