Some years ago in Cambodia had one of the world's worst railways. Trains ran very slowly between the villages. And there were not many trains. So people in the north west of the country decided to do something to travel faster. They have made their own transport. They took pieces of bamboo, train wheels and made a machine. The local people call it "Norris", but visitors from other countries call them "bamboo trains". To travel by this machine looks dangerous but the drivers say it is not a dangerous transport. "I use the bamboo trains to go to Battambang from my house so I can buy medicine," said Sao Nao. “On a bamboo train I can sit down and go to sleep. I like it."
Bamboo trains have become a part of the Cambodian transport system. They take people and their luggage from one village to another. They are also used by rich tourists who pay $2 for a ride. Cambodia is a very poor country and this is a lot of money for its people. A ride on the bamboo trains, perhaps with a chicken, some dogs, and people, is a great way to see the country.
