So so happy that this time she got ticked off ✅ another wish list ie. To ride on the North Borneo Heritage Steam Train🚂, yeah 💯😃😁👍🏻

Sabah State Railway aka Jabatan Keretapi Negeri Sabah (JKNS), FKA North Borneo Railway is a railway system & operator in the state of Sabah in Malaysia 🇲🇾 It is the only rail transport system operating on the island of Borneo

This steam train 🚂 was made by Vulcan Foundry Ltd in Newton-le-Willows in Lancashire, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 in 1955 for North Borneo Railway. It’s 1️⃣ of the few functional locomotives powered by burning wood 🪵 They don’t use coal that produces very fine ash powder which would cause black stains on your shirt 👕👚 It’s an iconic hybrid steam engine train 🚂 that was once a key trade route in the days of British 🇬🇧 colonial rule & still remain as the only railway on Borneo island. The exterior of the steam train is in deep green & cream colors, ie. the original colours used in old days. The windows 🪟 are open all the time for a more enjoyable experience. While the interior is natural wooded seat & there are cooling by ceiling fans. This train has 5️⃣ Japanese-designed carriages that each can accommodate 16 passengers, with a total train capacity of 80 passengers that have been meticulously restored & renovated to reflect the era of the classical steam train 🚂

The railway service of Borneo is 1️⃣st started by William Clarke Cowie, Managing Director of the British North Borneo Chartered Company in 1896. It’s a memory lane with history that involves Bruneians, British, Japanese, Australians & forebears of Sabah Chinese. From 1888 to 1963, Sabah (Then, North Borneo) was colonised by the British empire, as part of their economic plan to build a kingdom that never sleeps. The construction of this railway in 1896 is a major development that transformed the wild West Coast of Sabah into a belt of prosperity as this 134km Borneo railway helps to open up more lands & forms the lifeline of the west coast. Cargo after cargo of tobacco, rubber, paddy 🌾, coffee ☕, timber 🪵 & other agricultural products were transported from the fertile inland to the harbour of Jesselton (NKA Kota Kinabalu City or KK). Colonial townships such as Kinarut, Papar, Beaufort & Tenom also sprouted up along the railway 🚃 This single 134-kilometre railway line 🛤️ from Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu in West Coast Division to the town of Tenom, in the Interior Division of Sabah

The North Borneo Heritage Train (FKA North Borneo Railway) features a hybrid locomotive in which the engine can run on either steam ♨️ from a boiler or diesel fuel

It’s refurbished to create the nostalgic romance of the bygone era of the Colonial days of British North Borneo, the train 🚂 allows all its passengers to experience the beauty of the Sabah’s countryside & the unique sights and sounds of the Sabah landscape on board this heritage vintage train, a must have experience 💯👍🏻

Passengers are offered 🆓 seating on one of the 5️⃣ colonial-style train carriages. Each carriage provides the amenity of a modern unisex washroom 🚻🚾🚽

It accommodates 32 passengers in each carriage, with a total train capacity of 160 passengers

The train windows 🪟 remain open throughout the journey to enhance the overall heritage experience. Also with high-powered fans line the ceilings to ensure maximum comfort for all its passengers

The train 🚂 runs every Wednesday only. It runs 36 miles from Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah & then stopped at Papar, an agricultural town, known as the rice bowl 🌾🍚 of Sabah for lunch & sightseeing activities

Yeah 😁 SiennyLovesDrawing on the North Borneo Heritage Train 👩🏻💖🚂🇲🇾💯 #travelblog #travelmore #nature #travelgram #photography #vacation #instatravel #trip #holiday #instagood #travelblogger #tour #traveltheworld #traveller #landscape #picoftheday #travelphotography #tourist #adventurer #adventure #travel #traveling #travelling #tourism #wanderlust #photooftheday #sabah #northborneo #northborneotrain #steamtrain

So, this train departs sharp at 9am from Tanjung Aru Station & each passenger received a Sabah paper bag filled with light refreshments to enjoy during the ride, hand sanitizer, face mask & a little Sabah souvenir 🎁 All will enjoy wind your way through scenic landscapes on the only railway track in Sabah since 1896. This 134 km line stretches south from Kota Kinabalu to Tenom (Pangi Station). It’s actually originally used to transport tobacco to the coast, at present it serves as a vital public transport for the locals

Tanjung Aru

After breakfast ☕🍽️🥪🍳 at Flypod Restaurant, SiennyLovesDrawing slowly walking 🚶🏻‍♀️& then joined in with other registered passengers to on board to this heritage train 🚂 at Tanjung Aru Station at the designated platform

At the station, all its passengers will receive respective boarding pass & a train passport book (Task mission book 📖 to complete 🔟 missions) at the counter before proceeding to the platform. As the whistle blows during departure time, the train will commence its journey while passengers are treated to some of the unique & interesting sceneries in Sabah from the train window 🪟

Putata

As the train pulls out of the station, the development of Kota Kinabalu begins to slip away. Time & history begin to take over. After Putatan, the train veers into the countryside, away from the modern-day trapping of Sabah society. The train hugs the coast of Lok Kawi Bay & offers passengers an opportunity to take in the picturesque view of the South China Sea 🌊

Kinarut

The name Kinarut derived from the words ‘China Road’. From the train 🚂 , you can view the large Tien Nam Shi Toaism Temple ⛩️ (镇南寺) that worships Guang Ze Zun Wang (广泽尊王). Chinese immigrants didn’t have an easy life in Borneo. In some estates, their mortality rate could reach 40% due to ill treatment & poor living environment. Religion would offer them some comfort

The train then leaves the road & edges towards Kinarut, a traditional trading village. A school 🏫 stands proudly in the forefront, reminding everyone of the importance of education. A mosque 🕌 also stands near the station, highlighting the influence of the national religion. An interesting Buddhist temple ⛩️ appears at the foot of the nearby hill

SiennyLovesDrawing & other passengers 🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏻👭🏻👬🏻👫🏻 got to get down at this Kinarut station to take some photos 📸🤳🏻 Just merely approximately 15mins stop by only, so she doesn’t have time to explore this small town

@siennylovesdraw

Yeah 😁 SiennyLovesDrawing on the North Borneo Heritage Train 👩🏻💖🚂🇲🇾💯 ~ 📍#Kinarut #travelblog #travelmore #nature #travelgram #photography #vacation #instatravel #trip #holiday #instagood #travelblogger #tour #traveltheworld #traveller #landscape #picoftheday #travelphotography #tourist #adventurer #adventure #travel #traveling #travelling #tourism #wanderlust #photooftheday #sabah #northborneo #northborneotrain #train #steamtrain #oldtrain #trainlover

Kawang

After Kinarut, the train passes through Kawang, home to Kawang Forest Reserve 🌳🌳 which being azetted as a Second Class Domestic Forest Reserve. Its main purpose is to supply clean water 💦 for locals in the vicinity. The centre also offers a myriad of activities, from jungle trekking & camping 🏕️ 🥾 to cave exploration

Papar

The train veers again & crosses the Papar River 🏞️ over a steel trestle bridge 🌉 as Papar town comes into view. A quaint township, Papar is wedged in the valley between the Crocker Range & the coast. Here, everyone is a neighbour & the intimacy is clear with their dispositions & smiles 😁 The local market or tamu is a reflection of life in Sabah ~ A simple & alive with the sounds & smells of recurrent daily routines

SiennyLovesDrawing enjoyed chitchatting with the locals especially at the fish 🐟 wet market aka Pasar Ikan, the locals so welcoming friendly & offered her some of the fresh fishes to take photos 🤳🏻📸 hahaha 🤣 😂

Also enjoyed viewing the well maintained vintage shop houses that lace the charming small town. Also not to forget to explore some exciting spots around Papar town to complete the mission book 📖, yes ✅, a treasure hunt activity to enjoy 😁

There will be a tour guide from the Kinabalu Heritage Tour company to lead the way to explore Papar Town. During SiennyLovesDrawing’s recent tour, she was guided by a friendly Mr Carpet 🙋🏻‍♂️ The 1️⃣st stop we went to Majlis Bandaran Papar to take photos/ videos with 📸📹 the heritage old train 🚂 Then, went to claim a 🆓 traditional local ice cream 🍦 at Perniagaan Bee Hong & enjoyed while walking 🚶🏻‍♀️to explore the town

After visited to a Chinese temple ⛩️ & Papar Riverfront, she was invited to enjoy a delicious lunch ie. Ayam Penyet rice set with a glass of refreshing tasty Kitchai drink in a local restaurant named Kak Anna Restaurant 🍽️🍛💯👍🏻, instead of lunch in the train ya 🚂  She was told this was a suggestion from earlier tourists that dining in train 🚂 quite shaking during the train moving, some felt dizzy 😵 🥴, hence now dining at Papar town instead 💯👍🏻

So, if the wind wasn’t in favour, then she may need to wait till wind is available ✅, then only to fly. She was in a 4×4 1️⃣st by FLYNOW team to drive up to the take off point together with another 2️⃣ participants ie. Mr Matthew & Ms Penny from Sibu, Sarawak. Ohh ya…She was told that very much depending on the wind, at times may land in a different spot & not to worry as the FLYNOW team will pick up accordingly to the base after each of the paragliding session then 😁

Also it offers a variety of ice blended beverages including Chocolate frappe, Vanilla oreo, Hazelnut 🌰 & Mango 🥭

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 has tasted the lamb chop & cheesy wedges served here. Personally, she prefers a less fat lamb & more tender grills, however the lamb chop served here is slightly fatty & hard to chew though. The brown sauce to pair the chop is tasty delicious 😋🤤

Hmm…The Mango ices blended served here 🥭 🍹 also kind of disappointed her as she was expecting for fresh mango ingredients though

Hmm…No proper parking 🅿️ space, limited parking at the nearby roadside

Where To Stay

Hotel Sri Klawang 🏨

Hmm… SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 still sharing her own personal stay experience, so you all can still decide whether it’s suitable for your holiday stay whenever you’re in Kuala Klawang, Jelebu district

It’s a very basic yet expensive 1️⃣ night stay at this hotel which is owned by Majlis Daerah Jelebu. Some improvements are required by the hotel management to provide greater stay for all its guests

When entering the hotel compound, it’s with spacious car park 🅿️, suitable for bus tour. Then, check-in to hotel room ~ A103 which is located at Ground Floor & very near to the hotel reception counter. It’s a spacious room for 3️⃣pax with a queen bed 🛏️ & a single bed 🛏️, the room air conditioner is working well. There is no TV ❌📺, the 🆓 WiFi is not working in her hotel room. She didn’t try at hotel lobby, unsure the 🆓 WiFi whether it’s working or not. Room view overlooking the spacious car parking 🅿️

Ohh ya…Only 2️⃣ bars of mini soaps 🧼 & 2️⃣ towels provided in room. She has then requested & got a toilet roll from the hotel reception as it wasn’t with toilet roll in the toilet. Personally to SiennyLovesDrawing, the toilet hygiene can be improved as you will note the yellowish toilet bowl & stained wall. Not to worry, there is no unpleasant toilet smells ya 👍🏻

The water heater is not working well, so shower 🚿 with not warm water at all. Just 1️⃣ unit hanger provided in the cabinet. ❌ hair dryer even on rent & sharing basis

Personally to SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻, this RM100/room/ night is considered expensive for the very basic room facilities & with some improvements required from her own stay experience here

Hmm…She did had a good night rest & slept well during her stay here 💤😴 💯👍🏻
