most picturesque rail journeys in the world! As you journey through,

only steam train still in operation in Sri Lanka. The train has
two air-conditioned observation saloons furnished in period style,
with 64 plush reclining seats and individual adjustable tables.
A public address system is available for guides to describe details
of the journey or for suitable music to be broadcast. Each saloon

fans and teak-trimmed wood paneling is complete with a fully equipped
kitchen and a well complemented bar.
The

system in Sri Lanka. Especially popular are trips to & from
Kandy and the tea plantations of the hill country and down the west
coast to the beach resorts. Being steam-hauled, the train can stop
on request and guests can photograph scenic beauty spots and even
ride in the engine driver's cabin.
