Tropical Germany
Many parts of the Thai railways are still signaled with German semaphore signals. Their introduction dates to the construction of the Northern Line by German contractors in the early 1900s. Though the direct German involvement in the construction of the Thai railways was cut short by WWI, the signal style was adopted and continues to be used to this day. Here train 451 (Nakhon Si Thammarat – Su-Ngai Kolok) passes the northern exit signals at Phattalung station with SRT Alsthom 4301 leading.
