I went to Cha Am for some relaxation and surveyed a new railfan spot. Watch where you left your cows or you'll regret about it. A nice small station Train 911 (Excursion, Bangkok-Suan Son Pradipat) did a stop and go
A bright idea for using old rails: turn them into telegraph poles There are many people waiting for train. Train 255 (Ordinary, Thonburi-Lang Suan) shows up. and finally we have our own way,bye bye....
SRT, You noted one train is an "Excursion" and the other was "Ordinary". Is this the same as a normal, versus express train? Neat photos! Did you get any more angles ont he rail telegraph pole? I'm finding that one hard to see...
Hemi, the SRT classify passenger trains like this: Special Express: trains in this category stop only at major provincial stations Express: trains in this category stop at provincial stations Rapid: trains in this category stop at provincial stations and some district station Ordinary/local/commuter:trains in this category stop at all stations and flag stops Excursion: trains in this category is scheduled to run on holidays and special occasion The reason that SRT run excursions in holidays is to generate some extra revenue by using some of the idle commuter fleet. for more information visit: http://www.railway.co.th/English/Travel.asp And I'm so sorry about that pole photo. I'd like to shoot some more for you when I catch Train 901/902. Stay tuned
