Authorities in Bago believe they have discovered a train carriage dating back to Japanese bombing assaults on Myanmar during World War II.
The “cargo coach” was found after water levels in the Swar River in Yedashe Township dropped, revealing the hulking piece of metal, the Global New Light of Myanmar reported.
Somehow, either journalists or officials tracked down a resident who witnessed the event (the report provides no information on her details, simply referring to her as an “old woman.”)
The old woman said she was hiding in the forest during the war when she saw the train get hit and fall off a bridge into the river.
In the early 1940s, Japanese forces conducted intensive aerial assaults on Myanmar before being pushed back by a combination of Burmese and Allied Forces.
