| The Saigon - My Tho railway line was inaugurated as the first train service in French Indochina in 1885. It was used after the Indo-China War, undergoing destruction and restoration until 1958. Usually, I used the U.S. army map for an old Vietnam map. However, I only had the 1970 edition, after the line was disused. I traced the route, using a Japanese foreign country, 1/100000 scale, map printed in 1940. The railway that ran side by side on the National Highway QL1 left the road in the Cho Den river, and took a separate route.  |
I can definitely find the trace of the route when I look on an aerial photograph on Google.

This way, a factory siding of the right seems to be a route trace.

There might be a railroad line alongside palm trees.

The railroad line had spanned the river here, but I couldn't find the abutment pier trace.

Across the river, let's search on the opposite bank. There is a way to draw a rail curve. Because the surrounds are ponds and damp ground, this must not have to been an abolished line trace.  |
Neighborhood of My Tho. The old road was an abolished line trace, but the way was wide, and I could not find the trace.
