Whilst the human casualtities are far more important , it is fitting to note that this disaster has had a huge effect on roads , and presumably railroads in this area .
I know that the track in the Sri lankian crash widely reported , was moved aprroximately 4 metres ( 12 foot ) by the waves .
From what i can see of indonesian maps , there are not alot of railroads in the affected region , the main ones been further south .
In Thailand the railways tend to be mor on the east coast , opposite to the affected coast .
Sri Lanka obviously has a affected line , from what i can see of India , they dont appear to have many lines near the affected coast .

The only train trips I regret are the ones I didn't take.
