As a person from Thailand, there are so much more aspects to the railways of Thailand. For instance, in Krung Thep Aphitawat station (formerly known as Bang Sue) many newer electric DMUs as well as long-distance trains can be found. As well as this, we also have metros, a transit system above ground, and even 3 seperate monorails that are privately owned. Several old steam locomotives are also found in several provinces across Thailand (a good place to start would be in Kanchanaburi, the place of Thailand's Death Railway) and 5 of these steam locomotives even run on special occasions (2 of which being C56 locomotives as well as a Mikado are currently going through maintenance, so as of 2024 the 2 iconic Mikados no. 824 and 850 still operate 6 times a year). Not to mention, Thailand is now home to plenty of renovated Japanese trains.
Yes! I got to go to/ ride many of these trains; including the overnight train to Malaysia! The only reason I could not include said footage was this video was produced for SRT, whom requested it mainly focused on the intermodal freight aspect.
no, QSY (the red locomotive) wasn't the main workhorse, it'd be Alsthom locomotive, or CSR locomotive - which was a main SRT Freight Operation workhorse.
Got it! Thank you for letting me know. SRT wanted me to emphasize the importance of the QSY locomotives over others, hence why I mainly focus on them and the battery powered locomotives. My personal favorites were those old GE’s… absolutely iconic rolling stock!
Hey! What station do you recommend to take pictures of multiple different trains at? Does Krung Thep Aphiwat have a lot of trains, and is there freighttrains too?
@@RailroadRamblings Thank you! Do you have any idea when the freighttrains arrive or depart from ICD Lat Krabang? Or if there is a website where you can track the freighttrains?
@@RailroadRamblings Thanks for the info! But in Krung Thep Aphiwat, don’t you need a ticket to get to the platforms? Or is there a way to enter the platforms without paying for a ticket and not hop on the trains?
@@RailroadRamblings Hi, thx for your reply. But my question is if You can provide me with some useful names and contactinformation for people in SRT? Can I email You?
Already safer than the entire Norfolk Southern system!

Do you know where this terminal is located in the video? Thanks.
@@stockholmmetrotrains3612 If you mean Krung Thep Aphitawat station, it's a bit further out from the capital of Bangkok

Does the newest battery locomotive from CRRC have a name? Like a model name? For example CDA5B1?

Hey! What station do you recommend to take pictures of multiple different trains at? Does Krung Thep Aphiwat have a lot of trains, and is there freighttrains too?
Yes! Hua Lamphong is also great, as well as Phra Chom Klao (it’s right by an intermodal facility!)
@@RailroadRamblings Thank you! Do you have any idea when the freighttrains arrive or depart from ICD Lat Krabang? Or if there is a website where you can track the freighttrains?
Not sure about a website, but when I worked there, about 12 trains arrived and departed every weekday
@@RailroadRamblings Thanks for the info! But in Krung Thep Aphiwat, don’t you need a ticket to get to the platforms? Or is there a way to enter the platforms without paying for a ticket and not hop on the trains?
I think you need a ticket to get to the platform!
Wow
why didnt cover krungthep aphiwat grand station?
SRT didn’t take me their for filming
Where is this terminal located in Thailand?
The Lat Krabang section of Bangkok (By the airport!)
Is train in USA owned by state or private company?
Passenger is mostly state owned. Freight is almost all privately owned.
