A Guide To The North Borneo Railway
Train travel is one of the types of transport that I really enjoy. The scenic routes taken by trains often offer views you would never usually see. We spent a day on the old North Borneo Railway (now called the Sabah State Railway) a 134KM stretch of track originally built in the 1890′s. Our day started early, as we wanted to do the full stretch from Kota Kinabalu
to Tenom in a day so that meant we had to catch the earliest service. The service starts from Tanjung Aru station, which is a 10 minute drive from the city. We took a minibus (17A from Waswasan Station at 7am/RM2) although you can easily get a taxi for RM15.
You can easily get all the way to Tenom in a day but there is no train back until the next morning so we booked ourselves in at the Orchid Hotel (RM60 Double Room)
The first train from Tanjung Aru to Beaufort was very modern. We grabbed ourselves a table seat which was perfect as Kelly had a couple of articles to write. The views out the window were pleasant with an overwhelming amount of green and lots of small villages along the way.
