Batuwatta station of Sri Lanka Railways, locomotives and railcars from different countries

[Railway Berni]

Batuwatta station of Sri Lanka Railways is located on the busy railway line between Gampaha and Ragama stations. All trains from Colombo to Kandy, Badulla, Vavuniya, Jaffna, Trincomalee and Batticaloa have to pass here. The train density is correspondingly high. This film shows the passenger trains and the single freight train. Sri Lanka Railways still uses Hitachi locomotives and railcars, called there M5 and S8. The station building and especially the trains towards Colombo are illuminated the best in the afternoon sun.

Thank you for posting.  I like these "watching the trains pass by at one station" type vignette videos.  With ambient sounds and the atmosphere of the location.  It's a virtual railfan day out.
