Locotoons
by
Kumaran |
Why are all the Locotoons® feminine? All the named railway
services in Sri Lanka have feminine names. The first were "Ruhunu Kumari", "Yal
Devi" and "Udarata Menike". Then came "Podi Menike", "Uttara Devi" etc. For
instance Udarata Menike (lit: "Upcountry Lass") runs between Colombo and
Badulla. Ruhunu Kumari ("Princess of Ruhuna") runs between Colombo and Matara.
(The other names defy translation ...)
