Chiang Mai Main Line

Railway line in Thailand From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chiang Mai Main Line

Chiang Mai Main Line is a main line of the Northern Line operated by State Railway of Thailand that connects between Hua Lamphong railway station in the central and Chiang Mai railway station in the north, passing through many provinces. It is the second longest railway line in Thailand, after Su-ngai Kolok Main Line. Notable services include the Nakhon Phing Express, the first class train serving the line. Many accidents have occurred on the line in recent years,[1][2] prompting renovation work to commence on the track in late 2013, finally reopening on 2 December 2013.[3]
