Here’s the video I was hoping to get: our Royal Blossom train overtaking the steam heritage train! Starting at the rear, the first carriage you see is the new Beyond Horizon carriage with 1st and 2nd Class seats. Next come the red JR West sleeper carriages, the blue OTOP carriages and the regular 3rd Class carriages. Leading the train are Pacific steam locomotives Nos. 824 and 850. #ThaiTrainGuide #RoyalBlossom #BeyondHorizon #SteamTrain #Thailand
