Sri Lanka's Trains - They're an Experience! 🇱🇰
Riding the train is an experience that every traveler must have in Sri Lanka. They are very different to the trains that we have in the west. Most notably, they're decades old.
So I boarded an old train at Kandy Railways Station to go find even older trains, including the first ever passenger train in Sri Lanka. It had it's first journey 154 years ago!
The railways system is a very interesting part of Sri Lankan culture. It's a very cheap way for locals to travel and I've used it a lot as tourist as you have seen in my previous vlogs. Sometimes I've had whole cabins to myself, like on the Jaffna and Batticaloa routes. Other times I've been packed in like a sardine.
Unfortunately for me Kadugannawa from Kandy involved travelling on the busy Kandy-Colombo line and without a reserved seat it was inevitable that I'd end up standing and squashed in a mass of people for the journey. At only 40 rupees for the ticket, it's hard to complain too much though.
Across the rail tracks from Kadugannawa train station is the National Railway Museum. It is small but neatly laid out and hosts many old train carriages including the originals from the late 19th century which is when the Sri Lankan railway system opened. That's where today's adventure takes place.
