Railway - Bukit Timah




Every train from Malaysia to Singapore had to pass by this Bukit Timah Station. When the government announced the closure of the track from Woodland - Bukit Timah - Tanjong Pagar, people flocked to take a last look at it as well as capture memories with camera. 





These were found along the track, some items were there for a purpose but other item was abandoned.  




This is the distance marking.



Gate, Window and Door is at least 50 year old.





Rusty hooks

A glimpse of what was inside the station.

Signal Board. So complicated.

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station was operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM), the main railway operator in Malaysia. The station was closed on 30 Jun 2011, train no longer travel thru Singapore land into Tanjong Pagar. Train services will stop at Woodland Train Checkpoint.

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station's exterior has 4 marble statues: Agriculture, Commerce, Transport and Industry. Above the statues are initials FMSR (Federated Malay States Railways).






Different angle / side of the station.





The arch is beautiful .

An empty waiting area. 

Ticket Counters. Only a few people buying tickets. Is it people rarely travel via Train nowadays?


On the high wall are some paintings.

Gate and Windows




Food and tidbit stores



The next train will arrive in an hour time. I am hungry. Yummy Roti Prata plus a nice view oversee track. I like the texture of the prata. I don't like prata to be to burned and crisp. This one is chewy.

This is an interesting display in the center of 2 tracks. Is it a model of a old car?

Here comes the train and lots of people alighted. Tourist? Welcome to Singapore!



All have alighted.

The car license plate is unique. "DAD"

SLA announced that Tanjong Pagar Railway Station is now open to individuals and organisations for ad-hoc activities and events, subject to SLA’s terms and conditions.
