#3 Behind the Scenes: North Borneo Railway

This episode comes from a behind-the-scenes recording on location in North Borneo. If the ride to the Padas River to go white water rafting is this fun, imagine how amazing the rapids themselves are! Studying the history of the railroad, the terrain through which it was created and even a bit of humor about the lineage of it's unregulated, smog-belching diesel engines, this trip through Borneo's autonomous state of Sabah is one of the best ways to see the contrasting realities -- old and new, untouched and ruined -- for the wild, tropical region.Check out more podcasts, books, photos, and even documentaries I made while traveling 43 countries at patreon.com/travelgeek.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/travel-geek-podcast--6524488/support.
