November 2006Enterprising locals in Battambang, Cambodia, have developed a unique railway. It's made from recycled tank wheels, small motorcycle engines and lashings of bamboo.Cambodia's main train service only runs four times a month and derailments are common. Little wonder locals prefer a different option. 'Norries' are little more than bamboo slabs with wheels and run on the state-built track. With a top speed of 50 km per hour, the norry network is far superior to the train. As one driver explains; "People like these because they're fast and on time".

They'd try to look beforehand as far as they could, I would think, and decide if they can make it or not. If they're on the bridge, I guess all you could do is grab it and run really fast. You know?

If they built more railways, the "norries" would be one of the world's most efficient transport system.
