Was the railway, no more tracks...

The railway tracks near Rifle Range are gone!
Only the stones are left.

This was taken this morning and there's someone walking along it.



Wondering how it will end up eventually. Will the stones be removed?
The next photo shows the stones section further away has been sort of scraped off.



Around 10 mins walk from where this photo is taken is the Bukit Timah Railway Station.

Bukit Timah Railway Station and the area around it will be opened to the public tomorrow - 16 Sept 2011.

Enjoy the walks!

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! ;-)
