KUALA PILAH HISTORY -14 - THE VANISHING LANDMARKS OF KP



                                                  KUALA PILAH'S
              VANISHING LANDMARKS

 


The Bahau- KP line of FMS Railway  1 April 2010-2030

              
                     The 1910 -1920s  Kuala Pilah Railway station
 almost identical to the present Bahau Railway station that opened earlier but still functions

                   Proof that that there was a Bahau KP Rail Line
 

 This was a Railway shed  near the present market in KP ,built to cater for the 2010 line that carried goods such as the lucrative tin from Parit Tinggi to Bahau and south


                
The Railway shed in KPwas torn down in the 70s or so and a small shop built on the same site

 

   This was the rai over Sungai Muar demolished before the war and later replaced by a wooden bridge. There is a very narrow road bridge now on the same site linking KP, Sawah Lebar to Parit tinggi and the Bahau road

               
Presumably put up by bloggers to save this 100 plus  year old antique KP Railway station in a very state of repair
