Traveling by train from Nong Khai station, in Thailand, to Thanaleng station, in Laos, via the international train. This video shows the complete journey from station to station, passing through both immigrations and across the friendship bridge over the Mekong River.

The train used for these journeys is a RHN Hitachi Railcars, built in 1967, being the oldest and rarest railcars still in use on the Thai rail network. I believe these are now only used on the northeast line. They were originally supplied in matching pairs of Power Car and Trailer Car, No. 1011-1048 and 11-48 respectively, 76 in total. The Power and Trailer cars in this video are No. 17, 1012, 38 & 1023. The Power car have 220 hp and a maximum speed of 90km/hr.
