Train Travel in Asia
Railroads are the chief mode of transportation in Asia, although the level of development is mixed. Some countries, such as Russia and Japan, have vast, sophisticated networks. Other countries, such as Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) and Bangladesh, have only short, truncated lines. This photo shows a well-used train in India.
