Kluang Railway Station |
|
|
"Local residents once said when the train approached Kluang Railway station, Kluang town stood still, as the main road to the town is temporarily closed for the train to pass."
One of the charming places to visit in Kluang is the Kluang Railway station, in service since 1915. Like nearby Sungai Mengkibol, the railway passes through Kluang town, basically cutting it into two halves. As the road to the town is temporarily closed for the train to pass, local residents once said that when the trains approach Kluang Railway station, the entire Kluang town stands still. The station itself withstood the test of time and should be of interest for those who have passion for nostalgic photographs.
Today, the trains continue ferrying its passengers and passing through Kluang town, noisily but faithfully. Though trainspotting may not be a popular local pastime, take a walk to the canteen on nearby Jalan Omar, and you will find something else that will trigger a moment of reminisce - really good coffee, toasted breads and half boiled eggs. No visitors to Kluang should miss this local dish that is available for breakfast between 7.00am and 12.00noon and for afternoon tea between 2.30pm and 6.00pm.
