Yangon to Bagan by Train - 20 Hours of Rattle and Roll

TIME STAMPS: 3:54 - Train Arrives at Yangon Station; 6:48 - Boarding My Carriage; 12:57 - Train Departs Yangon Station; 16:22 - Story of Girls Selling Water; 23:06 - Story of Buying My Train Ticket; 29:07 - Train Picks Up Speed in the Countryside; 31:38 - Views of Houses Along the Train Tracks; 33:50 - My Bed in the Train as Night Falls; 16:02 - Next Morning on the Train; 49:37 - Pondering My Guest House Location in Bagan; 54:10 - Pulling in to the Bagan Train Station; 54:44 - Short Tour of My Guest House Room and Goodbye.

About 430 miles (690 kilometers) separate Yangon from Bagan, and I decided to cover that distance by train. I'll always go somewhere by train (as opposed to a bus) if that is an option. I like to be able to get up out of my seat and walk around and have regular access to a bathroom. And I like the views you get from train windows.
The train journey is quite a bit longer than the equivalent bus trip (maybe 8 hours vs 20 hours), but there were all kinds of things to keep me entertained along the way.

Cheers,

Douglas (AKA The Cycling Canadian)
