The Train Ride, Sri Lanka 2009

Posted by larry (somewhere in, Singapore) on 23 July 2010 in Lifestyle & Culture.

The train schedules are tracked with "Tablets", a system from the days of British occupation.
Here, a train conductor hands the tablet, snugly fitted into a leather casing with a loop, to the operator on the moving train.
