Myanmar Railways (Burma) - Pyin Oo Lwin-Hsipaw, shunting, crossing Gokteik Viaduct amaizing stations

Myanmar Railways (Burma) - Facinating insight of the trip from Pyin Oo Lwin station, northeast to the town of Hsipaw on the 131 Up train, on the Mandalay to Lashio line, in the Shan States of Myanmar (Burma). This is a snapshot of an incredible journey, which starts with shunting of extra coaches on the the train in the pooring rain, the crossing of the stunning Gokteik Viaduct and a look at some of the stations along the route to Hispaw. At the stations we see lots going on as people arrive, depart, or are just there to sell their goods.

The stations see along the journey are as follows:

Wetwun 08 min 41sec
Nawnnghkio 12:41
Nawngpeng 21:00
Kyaukme 28:15
Hsipaw 34:18

The train leaves Pyin Oo Lwin at 08:22 and arrives at Hsipaw at 14:38, and is pulled by Chinese CNR locomotive, maufactured by Dalian Locomotive & Rolling Stock Co. Ltd., which had a 2000 hp CAT engine.
