#747 Exploring Yangon by Train

We love train trips! So we decided to explore Yangon, Myanmar by rail.

We met our train at the Yangon Central Railway Station, the largest station in Myanmar.

Using the ticket booth map, our excellent guide described the Yangon Circular Railway. It's the local commuter line, a 28-mile loop with 39 stations.

At 200 Kyats each, our tickets cost about 13 cents.

We rode in one of the newer train cars from China.

The rules: No smoking, littering, or public displays of affection.

We rode the west side of the loop from the central station and jumped off at a stop near a local fruit market where bananas were unloaded and young Buddhist monks stepped gingerly across the tracks.

Yours in riding the rails,
Kelly
