 Overview
 Description
The train station with stationary train used to be a restaurant, with the train itself the bar. Follow the rails to the bridge. Electric fencing will block your path, but there is a loooong way around (2-3km). No walking around because you are not allowed to get out of your car in the park outside of the rest camps.

There probably will be elephants right underneath the bridge, or nearby; don't stray-you could be fined, or you could die.

     Future Plans
    Apparently a stationary train on the bridge will be turned into a hotel and the station will be reception. As if there isn't enough accommodation already:
