    The Burma Railway, also known as the Death Railway, the Siam–Burma Railway, the Thai–Burma Railway, and similar names, was a 415-kilometer (258 mi) railway between Ban Pong, Thailand, and Thanbyuzayat, Burma, built by the Empire of Japan in 1943 to support its forces in the Burma campaign of World War II. This railway completed the rail link between Bangkok, Thailand, and Rangoon, Burma (now Yangon, Myanmar). The name used by the Japanese Government is Thai–Men-Rensetsu-Tetsudou (泰緬連接鉄道), which means Thailand-Myanmar-Link-Railway.

    Tham Kra Sae Bridge is a historic railway located in Kanchanaburi and is also commonly known as Death Railway. The bridge was built by war prisoners of WWII. It received the name Death Railway due to a large amount of prisoners that died during the construction of the bridge. Now many people visit the bridge to learn about the history as well as view the incredible structure which is built into the side of a cliff, right next to the powerful Kwai Noi River.

Just a good day. The trip notes were optimistic, a 13 hour tour became 10 hours, maybe we missed the railway centre? It was still a superb day.
