Along the Way: Vintage and Unusual Road Vehicles in Burma, 2006
Burma Bus
Here is a selection of unusual vehicles seen along the way in Burma/Myanmar during a visit in 2006. By North American and European standards most of these are very elderly vehicles, but in a cash-short country like Myanmar people are very imaginative in keeping things working. Some of these are North American products from Dodge or Ford. Load limits are determined by how much can be piled on a truck and clear the wires across the road. These are all “shots in passing” not always great shots, but interesting and fun during a visit to photograph steam operations on the state railway. At that time steam was in its last days on the Myanmar Railways. The country still depended heavily on its railways nonetheless.
