Also known as Keppel Road Railway Station or Singapore Railway Station, this station has been closed since 30 June 2011. However the main building of the railway station was gazetted as a national monument.
Now the station is used mainly as an events venue and also site tours.
From left to right, the four sculptures represent Agriculture, Commerce, Transport and Industry – all important aspects of Malaya’s economy in the early 20th century. On top of the sculptures are the alphabets, FMSR, which stands for Federated Malay States Railways.
Last weekend the Railway Station showcased about 50 vintage cars.
The girls are not the age to appreciate such beauty, but thanks to some stalls selling paper planes, they are equally entertained on the grass turf at the station.
The whole feel is like going back in time. The signboards, the walkways, the railways…
Preserving the heritage is important. Introducing the heritage to the next generation is also crucial. This is the reason why we bring our girls out almost every weekend, so that they will know and experience the heritage that is fast forgotten in the world of internet and cyber.
