International Railroad Discussion > More Myanmar, Thazi - Ka Law - Inle LakeDate: 06/07/14 19:19 More Myanmar, Thazi - Ka Law - Inle Lake Author: GettingShort The line from Thazi climbs from less than a thousand feet to over 4,000 via a twisting mountain railway that includes a group of switchbacks. The scenery is amazing and the little Chinese built diesel really works hard.

The interior of this trains upper class coach The Ka Law station. Along with Pyin Oo Lwin (Maymyo to the British) these were the two major "Hill Stations" where the British colonial administrators retreated during the hot season.

At some points the tree limbs slap inside the car as the train passes. The line between Thazi and Ka Law and to Gokteik was amazing, sort of like Moses parting the red sea.
