I just hope we are not all sitting in a train made of bamboo and palm leaves.
A norry or nori ( from the French word for lorry) is an improvised rail vehicle from Cambodia. Lonely Planet describes it as Cambodias bamboo train.
Norries have low fares, and are frequent and relatively fast, so they are popular despite their rudimentary design, lack of brakes, the state of the rails (often broken or warped) and the lack of any formal operating system.
Norry construction is a cottage industry conducted in trackside villages. It takes around four days to construct one of the vehicles, which have a steel frame overlaid with bamboo slats resting on wheels taken from abandoned tanks.
Long live Monori!
