I just added a couple of old picture of Newton Station, Singapore. Looking through the photo gallery, I see there are loads of great pictures of Stations, ancient and modern, including abandoned st ...
takde pun image .. nak tengok jugak old newton station .. The current craze for scrap metal parts could have disastrous results for train passengers.
The theft of 75 "fish plates" along a 250-metre stretch of railway track near Kampar on Sunday could have led to a derailment if not for alert KTMB staff.
Three goods train drivers lodged reports with the KTMB office here after feeling the shaking of coaches on passing the affected stretch.
KTMB officials later lodged a police report on the matter. Perak police chief Datuk Asari Mokhtar said it was lucky that the goods trains had not been fully loaded and that the matter was reported before passenger trains passed.
"The theft was an irresponsible act as the missing fish plates could have caused a derailment and lives could have been affected,'' he said.
A fish plate is a metal or wooden plate bolted to the sides of two abutting rails or beams used especially in the laying of railroad tracks.
Asari said the plates, which weighed a kilogramme each, were stolen with their bolts and nuts.
He warned scrap metal dealers against buying such plates as they would be guilty of being in possession of stolen property.
Asari said he had asked district police chiefs to assist KTMB patrol the railway lines to ensure that other fish plates were not stolen.
It is believed the thieves could have carted away the plates in lorries as they were too heavy to be carried on foot.
A check at the area today revealed that the stolen plates had been replaced.
Thieves have got away with copper wire from the tracks, manhole covers, iron grilles from homes and metal signboards. Originally posted by chumpon at 21-2-2005 17:53:

KISAH DARI MUZIUM.
Dunearn road vs Tank RdDunearn road is abt 6 km further up (SE) of BT Station.
Tank road is located at Cuppage (Orchard Rd today), the remains of the pillars supporting line I think is still there but used for pipelines and electtrical cables.
Tank Rd had never existed in my visual experiences. Suggest refer to PICAS.
The bride in PICAS is somewhat smaller and similar to the ones perhaps at Jurong?
Distance between these places 2 are world's apart geographically.
The above pix is the lower view (slope) of the BT Station. There are ONLY 3 of these KTM bridges in Singapore and 2 are found along Bt-Upper BT road. Image found for sale on eBay.

Photograph 181 above was taken from the old Damansara Road bridge (now Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin) which crossed the main north bound track just south of the present National Museum, before the track was diverted away from the Selangor Club and relaid further west along Jalan Tugu. The ornate building in the left background (built 1896) still stands at the corner of Jalan Sultan Hashmuddin and Lebuh Pasar Besar (formerly Market Street), at the south east corner of Merdeka Square in central KL. The same bridge can also be clearly seen in middle right of photograph 251, "Railway Goods Yard Kuala Lumpur". Here's a neat shot of Ipoh, c1919 (from eBay).

Somewhere I've got a nice 1960s colour postard of Ipoh Station. I'll see if I can find it, and post it.
