KL Railway Museum

Although the old KL Railway station is still operational, part of the main hall has been designated as an exhibition area for various old railway equipment.

The railway service in Malaysia has a long history and was initiated by the British during the colonial period. The museum will be an ideal base for the younger generation to appreciate its rich history.

There are a few rail car models on display in this museum. The model is a gift from the manufacturers when KTM brought the rail cars from them.

This is the steel cutting tool that was used in KTM workshop between 1940s to 1980s.

The ticketing system back then was really simple. This is actually the ticketing machine to enter the platform that was used in 1940s to early 1990s.

This huge thigh bone on display here has a story to be told. In 1894, there was a herd of wild elephants crossing the railway tracks where at the same time a train was traveling towards Teluk Intan station. Out of the blue, an elephant breaks away from the herd and attacked the train which caused it to be derailed. The elephant also died on the spot.

It is believed the female elephant was seeking revenge for the death of her cub about a month before the incident at the very spot as a result of the collision with a train.
