Wow... how are we so advance back then..... but now we are rolling back to the past while everyone else is advancing .....

They should have kept this as a heritage site, I wonder if some tracks still exist or not. Knowing how slow things usually develops here, I assume there might be a whole station left to rot in the jungle somewhere lol

And we left it to rot just like that

I guess you could say that we were.. Badas..

And why Brunei decided to cut it off?

As someone who enjoys locomotives, I wish that rather than scrapping all these engines and leaving them to rot, we could have at least preserved them into a heritage railway. But oh well, it’s Brunei we’re talking about.

If I am not mistaken picture 5 shows what seems to be a Galloping Goose (railcar basically a car that got converted into a railcar)

It wasnt meant for public use back then.

The train is also on display in front of the Maritime Museum in Kota Batu if anyone’s interested to have a view.

Edit: I don’t think it’s this particular one though

As far as the history of the railways in Brunei, most of these were initiated by James Brooke during his time and the main purpose for the railroads were for coal mining. Evidence of this would be seen at The James Brooke Coal Mine in Muara which has been abandoned. This was the main reason why the railway was being built and used in the first place.

Once upon a times term is outdated...

The world now looking forward to what's next ? ( In development)..
