Padang Panjang Railway Station
Padang Panjang, Indonesia
About
The Dutch built some amazing railway infrastructure in West Sumatra. One of the most spectacular is the cog railway up the Anai Valley. From Padang Panjang there is a 3 hr train ride past Lake Sinkarak and on to Sawalunto. You can arrange for a 30 minute coal fired steam train ride for about $5 from this beautiful old colonial coal mining town.
