You must deal with the rare days it circulates: Tuesday and Thursday up, Wednesday and Saturday down in May 2015. First class is mandatory for tourists, which can make a dedicated car on the descent to Manakara. But I chose to get the train up to Fiana, since I cycled down to Manakara! And we are only 2 French guys and the rest are only Malagasy. The train takes about 14h for 160km, with a real start around 7:30am and an arrival around 9pm on the day I was there. In fact, it spends more time off (loading \/ unloading \/ wagon changes) than circulating! A great opportunity to see a slice of life in some villages crossed, some only accessible by this train (no road)!<br \/>\n<a class=\"piwigomedia-single-image\" href=\"https:\/\/photo.eric-creation.com\/picture.php?\/13070\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photo.eric-creation.com\/_data\/i\/upload\/2015\/05\/10\/P1130609-sm.jpg?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"piwigomedia-single-image\" href=\"https:\/\/photo.eric-creation.com\/picture.php?\/13071\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photo.eric-creation.com\/_data\/i\/upload\/2015\/05\/10\/P1130624-sm.jpg?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"piwigomedia-single-image\" href=\"https:\/\/photo.eric-creation.com\/picture.php?\/13072\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photo.eric-creation.com\/_data\/i\/upload\/2015\/05\/10\/P1130636-sm.jpg?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"piwigomedia-single-image\" href=\"https:\/\/photo.eric-creation.com\/picture.php?\/13074\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photo.eric-creation.com\/_data\/i\/upload\/2015\/05\/10\/P1130698-sm.jpg?w=700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 full day on the train between Manakara and Fianarantsoa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[74],"tags":[23],"class_list":["post-838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-madagascar","tag-railroad"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p31eG3-dw","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":839,"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838\/revisions\/839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eric-creation.com\/wordpress\/travels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
