Now I was even happier to have a fun ride on a real steam train on the oldest railway (established since 1896) of Borneo last week. Big toy man.. FYI, &#8220;North Borneo&#8221; is the name of Sabah during British colony time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_1.jpg\" alt=\"office of North Borneo Railway in Tanjung Aru Train Station\" \/><br \/>\nAbove: the office of North Borneo Railway in Tanjung Aru Train Station<\/p>\n<p>Actually it&#8217;s a tour product for tourists to experience the nostalgic romance of riding on a 57-year-old antique steam train. Even though it&#8217;s a train, it&#8217;s not a public transportation so you MUST book a seat in advance. You may sign up a tour with the company, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northborneorailway.com.my\/\">North Borneo Railway<\/a>. The fee is MYR290 (&#8776;USD$97) for adult, MYR185 (&#8776;USD$62) for child (3-12 years old). <em>The rates are as of 22 Mar 2013.<\/em> <strong>The steam train runs on every Wednesday and Saturday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_2.jpg\" alt=\"entrance of North Borneo Railway\" \/><br \/>\nAbove: entrance of North Borneo Railway<br \/>\nThe North Borneo Railway is in Tanjung Aru Train Station, which is about 5 KM away from Kota Kinabalu, capital of Sabah.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_3.jpg\" alt=\"Train passport of North Borneo Railway\" \/><br \/>\nPassengers will be given a &#8220;Train Passport&#8221; before boarding at 9.30am. It&#8217;s only for fun and have some brief introduction about the towns we see along the railway. The train steward will stamp the passport whenever we approach a town. At the end I have 5 stamps on the book.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_4.jpg\" alt=\"route map of North Borneo Railway tour\" \/><br \/>\nAbove is the route map I copy from the Train Passport. Our steam train departs at 10am from Tanjung Aru and head to Papar town about 40 Kilometers away. Our train passes through the countryside and we see villages, rivers, mangrove, paddy fields, rainforests and plantations on the way. The part our train passing through a 450-Meter Pengalat Tunnel (built by British in early 1900) is also fun. The whole tour takes less than 5 hours.<\/p>\n<p>You may watch the following 3-min video about the train ride:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"410\" height=\"238\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KA1vXsL6Aao\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KA1vXsL6Aao\">Click Here for wider video<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_5.jpg\" alt=\"boarding to steam train\" \/\nAbove: Tanjung Aru station, the starting point of the fun ride.\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_6.jpg\" alt=\"steam train of North Borneo Railway\" \/><br \/>\nAbove: this steam train is made by Vulcan Foundry Ltd in Newton-le-Willows in Lancashire, United Kingdom in 1955 for North Borneo Railway.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_7.jpg\" alt=\"steam engine powered by burning wood\" \/><br \/>\nOur steam train is one of the few functional locomotive powered by burning wood.

The windows are open all the time for a more enjoyable experience. However, it&#8217;s still a bit warm inside, so I advise you to wear thin T-shirt.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/2012\/20120205_10.jpg\" alt=\"interior of steam train\" \/><br \/>\nThe interior is natural wooded seat and there are cooling by fans.
