  • A Summary of the History of the Railway Line
    A SUMMARY OF THE HISTORY OF THE RAILWAY LINE 1 HISTORY OF THE RAILWAY LINE 1.1 Through its century of operation, the Rail Corridor has acquired a rich patina of history not only as an important transport linkage, but also in the collective memories of people who have travelled between Singapore and Malaysia. Known formerly as the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) Railway Line, it served as a significant means of goods transport, communications and passenger travel. With Singapore envisioned as the start and end point of a rail network which would stretch west to Calais in France, north to Hankou in China and onwards to the Trans-Siberian network, the construction of the rail was seen as a symbol of progress, promising to connect Singapore to the rest of the world. 1.2 The railway history can be described in 3 phases, namely, (1) the establishment of the Singapore-Kranji Railway, (2) integration to the Malayan Peninsula and Keppel Harbour, and finally, (3) the addition of the Jurong Spur Line. 1.2.1 Establishment of the Singapore-Kranji Railway, 1903 a. The railway line was first completed on 1 January 1903 with train services connecting Tank Road Station (also known as the Singapore Station) to Bukit Timah Station. From the Tank Road Terminus, the train went through a cutting between Tank Road and Oxley Road and then up an incline so as to cross Orchard Road on an overhead bridge near the Cold Storage premises (now Centrepoint). Further travel would lead to Newton Station at Newton Road, Cluny Road Station, Holland Road Station and to Bukit Timah Station.
