Myanmar Railways (MR) operates 18 freight trains, and 379 passenger trains, transporting over 100,000 passengers daily. The quality of the railway infrastructure is generally poor. Most remains in poor repair, and is not passable during the monsoon season. The speeds of freight trains are heavily restricted on all existing links as a consequence of poor track and bridge conditions. The maximum speed for freight trains has been quoted as 24 km/h, suggesting that commercial speeds on this section could be as low as 12–14 km/h. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar_Railways)
