Beautiful!! I wish that the people of Borneo will maintain their pretty island and its gorgeous nature for the future generations to see, how wonderful our world once was. That will be your asset!
@@krollpeter yes, a lot of virgin and secondary forests are turning into that, which is painful to watch. The forests are getting destroyed by greedy businessmen
its the railway track that made in 1896 not the locomotive. the locomotive is made and design in 1954 by vulcan foundry with 2-6-2 type wheel configuration. the oldest working steam loco probably indian IER-22 built in 1855.
I remember riding this train on boxing day 2012. So sad that it is no longer operating today. But good news, next year there will be a steam train service between KL and Butterworth.
If you want more adventurous, wild, jungles, more classic with local villages riding the same locomotives, try to take train from Pekan Tenom to Pekan Beaufort, 2 hours journey along Padas River in the heart of mountainous Crocker Ranges. Its only 3.00 MYR for one way. If you take this train in Hari Tamu Beaufort, you can see the local villages took out their local product to sell at the tamu in that train. So what are you waiting for? Hahaha.. i can be your guide if you interested because my hometown is Pekan Tenom 😁
Main problem with this stean loco its too pricey! back then, only MYR 145++ per head then up MYR 200++, and now already reach MYR 400, not sure addition they add and there are 2 loco. Only 1 that frequent use. Old route pass by Padas river up to Tenom town. Today, its very short journey
Perhaps it's the kayu bakau. Labour costs, maintenance and parts. I'd imagine it's not cheap keeping a steam loco in prime running condition.. Especially now in Malaysia,when prices are skyrocketing without rhyme or reason. If I could afford it, I will take the ride, just to brag that I did! Cheers
@@LakshmananLM , as Sabahan myself, maybe u rite. Those mangrove tree despite can be get easily just nearby track as we saw in video, its can be quietly pricy. You can book this trip via Airbnb
Well the steam engine is back this time with no food and staff I saw the steam engine 6015 at papar station with 7001 on Wednesday with a whistle and the logo on the coaches changed into JKNS with a circle and a line
before this, it run by state gov and way more cheaper than currently have. Now, after Sutera Harbour take place, not just become expensive but route also shorter. But at least, those loco being well preserve
Nine tonnes of wood?!? How can we justify that in this day and age? Hope the founders will consider ways of decreasing their carbon footprint on this route
Such a good way to embrace history at the same time attracting tourist
3:12 this kind of tiffin carriers are so nostalgic, before they are replaced with tupperware

Sadly it’s turning into palm oil plantations
@@1stTH-camHandle is it? That would be hug mistake, IMO. Palm oil is under heavy scrutiny for being on of the most unhealthy food stuff in the world.

Mr Gérard tan.. I was a former staff member in sutera harbour resort.. Hope I can get back to serve back again..
Just imagine that All Trains around the world still running with steam Engines
I like the steampunk aesthetics. Imagine an alternate timeline where diesel wasn't popularised and we use steam instead.
Lol nice
@@ibreathenapalm1112 it be cool but nahh

Must try... one day!
We need something like this in the Peninsula! Maybe a Heritage Railway?
We used to have, from KL station to Batu Caves. Now we don't know what had happened to it.

Awesome Town USA!
Exquisite
it has stop operation? oh nooo
Historically yes. Luxurious? Can't tell.
Ernest Kwok maybe he means expensive...
@@dudu4946 if the only meaning of luxurious to him means price... he's shallow...
This was luxury a century ago, perhaps that's what's alluded to, somewhat disingenuously?

I x- pected that... there's is a company... who could managed the sabah more efficiently and modernised the train system....
I miss the good ol' day when we used to be subjugated.
