Khok Salung railway station is a railway station located in Khok Salung Subdistrict, Phatthana Nikhom District, Lopburi Province. It is a class 3 railway station located 176.551NaN1 from Bangkok railway station.[1] [2] From November until January of the following year, the Pa Sak Jolasid Dam excursion train from Bangkok runs across the Pa Sak Jolasid Reservoir viaduct and terminates at this station, using it as a switchback for the locomotive for the return trip to dam. During that time, the train will stop for about 30 minutes, so passengers will get off the carriages to use the restroom and buy local products from the folks as souvenirs or for lunch.[3]
