All oil tank trains between Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh have a motorised trolley (known locally as a "Lorry") running in front of the train to check the condition of the track

BB-1054 works the 06:20hrs Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh oil tank train on December 23, 2006

The going away shot of the same train with the "Lorry" just visible in the distance in front of the train

As these trains run at 5km per hour it is easy to get ahead of the workings and photograph them again. The difficulty though is finding somewhere where the local vegetation has not completely taken over the line and ruined any possible shot

Here the same trains run through the town of Veal Renh
