Ignite my passion and beyond Part 2: Bukit Timah Railway Station

There's nothing much satisfying during my days as a young teenager to roam around at King Albert Park area. Especially that place calls the one that I'm looking forward to. Bukit Timah Railway Station was own by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) and was use mainly for the purpose of doing train crossings when before it was use to share around Jurong Line as a freight interchange during 1965 to 1990s. Now from 30th June 2011 onwards, it's become a sole heritage purpose towards Singapore community to keepsake it's origins till further amendments takes place. Here are some videos and pics to share around during my days.

Entering into the station

Tokens, as in during the British Era of communications in trains safety, are still being use during the days

The station master will handover another token to let pass this train to reach it's another destination.

Token passing from an indian made locomotive called YDM4

An awesome catch by the driver

As I mentioned earlier, train crossings are the grand prize to any trainspotter's in Singapore. Well in particular if the locomotive may not turn out differently.

Tokens are being pass down first before exchanging another one after the train has passed by.

Taken my once in awhile visit. Much to it, didn't know it becomes my fave place to visit

While the fun had been a blast, it all comes to an end when the line makes it's unexpected closure when the agreements between the borders of Malaysia and Singapore were made to close the line and give the land back to Singapore. It was given a 1 year final run and oh boy it gotten to a lot people's attention that the place had been bombarded with random people from all ages and the best from other countries.
