All things KTM (Malaysian mainline railway) with a lot of British railways stuff thrown in. Inclined towards history & engineering. RSE. WE ARE NOT KTMB.
Every once in in a while, especially when crisis hits the operation of KTMB, we get inundated with complaint tweets. Please take note that WE ARE NOT KTMB. Thanks. https://t.co/FXqaF5eZXd
The Kempas Baru - Pasir Gudang branch was launched in 1983 as a freight-only line, with almost nor provision for passenger services. With recent talks to introduce passenger services here, if there is constant demand for that, it will be a matter of time - though challenging

Berita Harian newspiece on the incident.
The track stretch where the particular incident took place has since been upgraded under the Seremban - Gemas double tracking project (SGEDT) in 2014.
The locomotive working the train, road no. 24118, left the tracks and turned on its side in a ravine, taking with a second class coach which turned turtle. A further three coaches left the tracks and were left in a precarious condition on the rail embankment.
ON THIS DAY.... on 3 May 2008, train no. 1dn from Butterworth to Singapore the Ekspres Rakyat derailed near Senawang outside Seremban in Negeri Sembilan.
Of more than 200 passengers onboard, 12 sustained injuries while the driver of the train sadly was killed in the incident

One of the more oft-repeated myths is that the ETS is capable of operating at 160km/h. In fact, even CRRC reproduces this on some of their materials.
Let's get this straight - the ETS is designed and tested for 160km/h, but not meant to run at that speed sustainably...
A press advertisement taken out by British Rail in the 1970s/1980s to make the public (and undoubtedly, to pressure the government) aware of the need to renew the aging rolling stock then still in use. ^AH
Enjoy some soothing sounds to help you sleep tonight - 40145 departing Stafford with 40106 in tow in July 2020.
I can't quite remember the working & it was before I was more detailed with photos but I think 106 was being taken from the SVR to the ELR

In 1965, shortly after Singapore ceased to be part of Malaysia, a new branch line from Bukit Timah to the Jurong industrial area was opened. Unfortunately the line never saw much traffic, and by the late 90s the link was severed from Bukit Timah following years of disuse
A Malayan Railway Class 54.2 steam locomotive featured in the 1969 British action-comedy, "The Virgin Soldiers". Note the coaches with MR emblem and designation. Location of this particular clip is very likely somewhere along the now disused but in-situ Jurong branch in Singapore
