Sri Lanka
Author: andersonb109

I recently posted some photos from a steam photo charter in Sri Lanka on the steam board. Of course those pesky diesels kept getting in the way. Here is a sampling of what we saw. Trains are a mix of locomotive hauled and DMU's.

And Last. Including the real reason for the trip. My birthday party in Kiev on the"way" home. Can someone please rotate Yana correctly?

Yes, I too love steam but the pesky diesel are great in their own way, thanks for posting. In photo there is what appears to be a street car roll sign with "Quebec" written on it. I can't read the smaller print. Any idea what is written or what the roll is for?

Thank-you in advance,

Sri Lanka uses the same broad gauge as India and Pakistan, that is, 5 ft. 6 in., or 1676mm.
