金边-西哈努克，金边-波贝高铁将于六月开通

据近日柬媒脸书图文报道：柬埔寨皇家铁路从日本特别“订制”的11节客运火车厢目前已经完成货轮吊装，近期将会运抵柬埔寨，非常有意思一幕就此发生，柬埔寨民众看到媒体所刊载的图片之后纷纷留言：“怎么看起来都是旧的？”

后经柬埔寨本地媒体核实后得到确认：　　

　　在短短两个月内，柬埔寨将开通金边至西哈努克城以及金边至班迭棉吉省波贝泰柬边境的旅客列车。列车运行速度将在每小时90至110公里之间，具体取决于 路况。仍算相当快，而目前的列车平均每小时只能运行50公里。柬埔寨皇家铁路首席执行官John Gerry在接受飞天电视台专访时表示，该公司将使用新购买的列车 来自日本的列车，共有11个车厢，即5趟列车，总共可容纳700名乘客。他说，在这两条线路上，空调列车都将设有特殊座位，即一等座，售价在24,000瑞尔之间 每个座位4万瑞尔，就像普通火车一样。它只在白天运行，但首席执行官告诉飞天电视台，他计划很快推出带床位的夜间列车。 柬埔寨皇家铁路百万富翁杰明从日本购买的11列Kyha183DMU列车将于下周一抵达柬埔寨。 面对外界批评该公司正在购买1979年以来日本已停止使用的旧火车，约翰·格里向飞天卫视证实了这一点。这些火车并不是被日本废弃，而是用于日常通勤。他补充说，该火车是 质量好，无需维修卡，这是其他国家/地区会使用的具有成本效益的解决方案。
　　约翰·格里表示，除了二手火车外，该公司还订购了 220 多辆机车和车厢，作为为该行业服务的大型投资项目的一部分，但无法确认成本。 两条铁路，即北方线和南方线， 全长650公里。 从金边到波贝的北方铁路建于法国殖民时期，南方铁路建于Sangkum Reastr Niyum时代，这两条铁路在1970年之前是柬埔寨生活和经济不可或缺的一部分，不会受到严重影响 在红色高棉种族灭绝政权期间遭到破坏。 孟已投资超过1亿美元用于两条铁路的开发。柬埔寨可能还需要5到10年才能充分发挥铁路运输的潜力。 根据2023-2033年总体规划，柬埔寨计划开发8条铁路，总投资约100亿美元。

　　In just two months, Cambodia will launch a passenger train from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville and from Phnom Penh to the Thai-Cambodian border in Poipet, Banteay Meanchey province.The train will travel at speeds of between 90 and 110 kilometers per hour, depending on road conditions.Still be considered fairly fast, while the current train can run an average of only 50 kilometers per hour.John Gerry, CEO of Royal Railway Cambodia, said in an exclusive interview with Apsara TV that the company will use the newly purchased train from Japan, which has a total of 11 cabinets, or 5 trains, for a total of 700 passengers.On both lines, he said, the air-conditioned train will have special seats, or first-class seats, which cost between 24,000 riel and 40,000 riel per seat, just like a regular train.It will run only during the day, but the CEO told Apsara TV that he plans to launch a night train with a bed soon. 11 Kyha183DMU trains designed by the millionaire Royal Railway Cambodia Kit Meng buying from Japan will arrive in Cambodia next Monday. In the face of criticism that the company is buying old trains made since 1979 that Japan has stopped using, John Gerry confirmed this to Apsara TV.These trains are not abandoned by Japan but are being used for daily commuting.He added that the train was of good quality without a repair card and that this was a cost-effective solution that other countries would use.
　　In addition to the second-hand train, John Gerry said the company had also ordered more than 220 locomotives and carriages as part of a larger investment project to serve the sector but could not confirm the cost.Two railways, the Northern and Southern Lines, have a total length of 650 km. The Northern Railway from Phnom Penh to Poipet was built during the French colonial period, and the Southern Railway was built.During the Sangkum Reastr Niyum era, these two railways were an integral part of Cambodian life and economy before 1970 and would not have been severely damaged during the Khmer Rouge genocidal regime. Meng has invested more than $100 million in the development of the two railways.It may take another 5 to 10 years for Cambodia to reach its full potential for rail transport. According to the 2023–2033 master plan, Cambodia plans to develop eight railways with a total investment of about $10 billion dollars.
