News from Sri Lanka Railways

Hello all,

I thought of creating a dedicated thread for Sri Lanka Railways, which considered as one of the scenic railway lines in the world. I will share images, news and my own experiences here. Everyone can share their experiences.

I would love to hear your feedback
