On vacation in madagascar I took the train between Manakara and Fianarantsoa. In this video you can see the beautiful scenery and the local people. There were only 9 tourists on the train. I ride in the Firstclass, goodwagon, locomotive, on front of the locomotive and on the flatbed.
The train needed 13 hours for the 163km track. The track is very old and not straight. The locomotive is an Alsthom AD16B with a 1600hp V16 diesel engine.
Everything is worn out and this is the last locomotive on that track and they started with 6 of them. The train is very essential for the area to get the goods to the market. There are not much decent roads in the area. So the train is a lifeline.

The camera shake comes from the track which is not straight.
