"KTM Rail Walk" on Google Search

Date:  July 17, 2011

My friend, Melissa wanted to go for a walk on the KTM Rail road, and when she type "KTM Rail Walk" on the Google Search, the following result came out... first & second result by Mini Liew Blog.  :)

And then, she called me, and tell me about it.  I was like "HaHaHaHaHaHaHa"... like that also can!  No wonder I got quite a high hit on the KTM blog.

But I think a lot of people really wanted to go for the KTM railroad walk.  Have you done it?

The stretch from Rail Mall to Rifle Range should still open until month end.  But I just saw my friend did I think from the Silat Walk there... may be as long as they have not dissemble the track, then, I guess you still can walk on it...

Quick quick quick... If you don't hurry, you will never got a chance to do this... again...

Here I hope the Singapore government can consider to build a 26KM long cycling + roller blading track using this KTM Rail road as a base.  I am very sure there are a lot of people love to cycle to walk, and this goes directly into Tanjong Pagar...

Make Singapore a GREEN CITY... Please...

KTM Rail Walk @ Silat Walk

Date: July 10, 2011

OK.  My son really obsessed with trains.  So, we brought him to walk on the train track again today.

This time, we parked our car at Blk 26, Silat Walk.  And then walk towards the train track direction.

On your right, there is a path to cross the drain (there are some board placed there) and you will enter the train track just beside the station.

There is a security uncle sitting there to prevent the crowd to enter the train station area, which is now a State Property.

Here we walk again.

When you tired, then, just sit on the track.

OK.  Where is the turn table, let mommy go and ask for the direction.

OK, we drove the car towards Kampung Bahru and turn into the Blair Plain.  And park our car there.

Wow, Singapore government is really quick, there are already dissemble all the train tracks here.  The Hindu Temple also relocated.  And there you see a turn table that turns the train around.

That concludes our walk on the KTM Rail Road.

The rail road will be closed for good after July 13, 2011.  So, if you can go and take a look at the nature!

The Last Walk on KTM Railroad in Singapore

Date: July 9, 2011

This is probably the last time you have any chance to walk on a railway.

So, no car park also park illegally.  Sure kena saman later.  (But later, when we get back 2-3 hours later, we are fortunate!)

We parked our car at the Rail Mall.  And this is where we shall start our journey.  Walk towards to Ten Mile Junction.  May be 4-5 KM?

That is the bridge we going to.  And there are already a lot a lot of people here.  I guess all have read the paper today and rush down here.

This is the first time I sat on a train track.  Yipee!

All rocks... not nice to sit...

The other side of the track also have a lot of people...

See mommy, I am a train... running on the train track..

A lot of people mistaken this as year 1861.  But it is not... later I tell you why...

Kay just loves to throw rocks.. hahaha after throwing, he gives you a big smile..

I think this guy damn solid... he must have ride 14KM from Tanjong Pagar until here...

Spotted a beetle on the train track...

This is the reason why I think just now the 1861 is not a year.  It should be the KM marker from may be Thailand, Myanmar, Laos or Vietnam, etc etc.  Because I think we just walked 2KM until here.  And this is 1859.

This butterfly has come to me and land on my hand 3 times.  Lovely.

So, our duty as parent has been completed and approved by Jay Jay.  We have brought him to sit on KTM train, to see the train tracks and now walk on the train track.  So, Jay Jay should be happy.  See, now he know, walking 2KM is no joke... so tired. hahahaha

They will open this whole train track until July 15, 2011.  After that, on July 18, they will start dig out the iron track and return these tracks to Malaysia.  They will keep the Rail Mail until Rifle Range Rd stretch 3KM until month end of July.  After that, there will be no more train tracks.  And what URA going to do here, we don't know yet.  Hope they can develop it to a very nice cycling track.  That will be so cool.  And then, open bicycle rental all along the way.  And people really can cycle to work and park their bicycle and take shower at the Tanjong Pagar there.

So, go and have fun!  Bring your kids!   They will love it!
