KTM Train on the Causeway

After the closure of the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, many people might think the KTM trains do not travel to Singapore anymore.

They still do! It just that it terminates at Woodlands.



The train was zooming past us as we were stuck in the Causeway Jam.
Waiting for the day that the Singapore MRT is connected to Johor Bahru!

Someone should really come up with flavours of Jam and name it the Causeway Jam, PIE Jam etc.
Doesn't that sound cool? LOL

KTM Tracks....

This was taken this morning...

The news reported few days ago that the tracks clearing has completed and the tracks have been returned to Malaysia.



Looks like the mostly instant grass that has been moved here has grown for some time and it has already been mowed.

Did they dig up all the rocks and moved them to Malaysia too? I wonder...

KTM Tracks... Bye....

The former KTM tracks along Rifle Range.
Looks like they have started to dismantle the tracks here now.



I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop and saw some folks crossing the tracks from their housing estate.



Walked and snap a few photos of the tracks.
Wondering what will happen after this.

Watched a travel documentary on TV yesterday how they transformed an old railway track in Taiwan to be a bicycle track. Looks so interesting. Hopefully they will do something similar in Singapore.

 

KTM Tracks.

It has been a 13 days since the KTM train tracks have closed / returned to Singapore.
Never have so many people got interested in something so 'old'. There is a sudden surge of people visiting the train tracks!



These tracks will be gone soon. Probably in less than a month, it will all be removed by Indeco Engineers (Pte) Ltd. They won the SGD 632,000.00 Gebiz Tender to remove and storage of railway including ancillary structures from Woodlands TP to Tanjong Pagar Railway Station.

This was taken yesterday morning. People are taking photos of the tracks. Others are just walking along the tracks.



The tracks seems to be rusting away barely 2 weeks of not being scrapped by the wheels of the heavy trains.




I was on my way home last Saturday and saw that there are so many people on the railway bridge!
During the weekends, it's like a carnival on the tracks now!




Oh yes, traffic jams too! The last time this road was so packed was son 30 June night! ;-)
