Railway – The Yard @ Kampong Bahru

When the government announced the termination of train services, I made a trip down to The Yard at Kampong Bahru. The Yard was not as glamorous as Tanjong Pagar Station, which had marble statutes, art-deco, neo-classical and local styles of design.

It was my 1st time walking on The Yard to take a close look at the railway tracks, trains and workshop. 

Tracks

Stopper - When you see this from afar, you better stop the train as there is no more track ahead.

Turner - They used this to turn the train head direction.

Trains and spare parts

Workshop - All the repairs and maintenances were carried out here.

 

It's surrounding - Spottiswoode Estate, Duxton Estate, Indian Temple.

The Yard served an important role as the train stopped by for repair before starting a long journey up Malaysia. The Yard is no longer there. Goodbye.
