In 1829, a locomotive designed by British engineer George
Stephenson, won a competition sponsored by the Liverpool and
Manchester Railway. This performance stimulated the building
of other locomotives and the extension of railway lines. In
the following year, the first locomotives built in the
United States were put into operation. Designers added
supporting wheels and counterbalances to stabilize the
locomotive, and they experimented with varying arrangements
of driving and stabilizing wheels.
In Myanmar, Steam locomotives were major runners of
Myanmar Railways till the time of dieselization at 4-1-1958.
But they are being service up to date to show their
enthusiastic services for customers.
We have some regular steam train services and chartered
trains can be arranged for some journey on demand. We are
