The Railroad
junction town of Gemas
Travellers by rail
to the eastern part of the Peninsula must first reach Gemas. This
is a town almost 2/3 south of the Peninsula. This means that
passenger from the north will have to travel south before they
can move east!
| The town where all these transit
take place is an obscure little town of Gemas |
 |
 |
By road this town allows the Federal
Route 1 to run through it with an unique arrangement! The road makes 2
right angle turns within the town area. Picture here is
the 2nd turn!
|
| Then this
one if you are approaching town from the north! Traffic
moving on the right and south bound turning to the left
to envelope the town. They need traffic enhancement to
break the melanchony! |
 |
Now
the historical part of town, the railway station, its old
building starts the mood!
| This the
center of activities of the region, in front of the
station is a small market square and stalls, food and
fruits. the lobby of the station is also appropriately
decorated! |
 |
 |
This
plaque in front of the station gives a vivid account of
the happenings and history of the rail lines! After reading its
inscriptions, it confirms that the trip down to Gemas is
worth the trouble.
|
| Story on
gemas will not be complete without a picture of the train
passing by. Coincidentally, this is the 9.30 am coming
from Singapore and heading for Gua Musang arriving there
at 10.00 pm. |
