01 JULY 2006 - PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA: Passengers sit on the floor and in hammocks they bring with them when they ride in the boxcar on the Phnom Penh - Battambang train. Passengers sit wherever they can find space - in the few passenger cars on the train, the flat cars and the box cars. While much of Cambodia's infrastructure has been rebuilt since the wars which tore the country apart in the late 1980s, the train system is still in disrepair. There is now only one passenger train in the country. It runs from Phnom Penh to the provincial capitol Battambang and it runs only one day a week. It takes 12 hours to complete the 190 mile journey.
