A view of squatter homes along the tracks running through...
PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA - 2005/04/01: A view of squatter homes along the tracks running through Phnom Penh. Locals use the old fences as clothes lines and the abandoned cars just over the fence as toilets.
Cambodia's train system is the mode of transport for the poorest of the poor in a country defined by poverty - and yet the government has cut back passenger service for increased cargo transport.
The rolling stock started off its Cambodian career as cast-offs from various European railroads. Now, it is at best dilapidated, at worst bullet-scarred and unusable. As foreign investment pours into the country after years of turmoil, almost none of it goes to refurbish this basic transport link.. (Photo by Jerry Redfern/LightRocket via Getty Images)
