Skywatch Friday - Tanjong Pagar Railway Station - Train


There are many people on the train platform but majority are just shutterbugs to record a piece of history before the train relocated to Woodlands.


I was lucky to take a photo of the 1 pm train that was leaving towards Malaysia.

Close Up Shots of the railway tracks.

I guess all these tracks will be dismantled and recycled or sold as scraps.



A short video of the train leaving the station towards Malaysia.

    The building will be preserved and wont be demolish. Only the tracks will be removed. I have no idea what the station will be in future. Could be a hotel or a museum, really no idea.

    I hope parts and bits of the track can be nicely cut to smaller piece and sold as a souvenir just like Berlin wall.
