Talk:Keretapi Tanah Melayu

Some history, please
What's the history of the rail system? When was it started? When did steam traction end? What about the issue of the railway land/station in Singapore? What did the Japanese do the railway system during the Occupation? I'd love to know.

Komuter
The Komuter service between Port Klang and Seremban definitely has to added if anyone wants to do this...Personally think the Mid Valley station has proven that a public train terminal at a mall outside of the goldern triangle is a workable idea and is a first in Malaysia.--Malbear 02:56, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Actually the Komuter services are:
 * Port Klang - KL Sentral - Sentul
 * Rawang - KL Sentral - Seremban
 * -- sabre23t 08:17, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * The two KTM Komuter lines have by convention been identified with their two end-stations, hence Sentul-Port Klang and Rawang-Seremban, despite the names not being immediately obvious that they also serve Kuala Lumpur.

Station Listing
Instead of listing the stations, a map should be much clearer.

Gauge
Surely the article should tell us what gauge the railway uses! Thortful 06:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It does: The 1000 mm gauge railway network... Jpatokal 14:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Bias towards passenger services
I can't help commenting the amount of overemphasis on passenger train services, since the tracks are still used for freight transport. Where is detailed information on the service's history? What is the type of goods transported? What is the rolling stock and freight cars used? And freight stops? -Two hundred percent 06:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like the problem has been addressed somewhat. OK. Good job. - Two hundred percent 06:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Name in italics?
I do not think Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad should be in italics although it is not in English as it is a proper noun. If it has to be in italics, then Kuala Lumpur and Kota Bharu would also have to be in italics, as they both have English equivalents.Slleong 14:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Japanese steam locomotives in Malaya
I have traced the fate of the Japanese steam locomotives added to the stock during the World War Two. The question is of the following locomotives which according to the Japanese sources were sent to Malaya in 1942:

C 58 40  1C1-h2 Kawa 2003 1938 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 42  1C1-h2 Kawa 2005 1938 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 44  1C1-h2 Kawa 2026 1938 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 45  1C1-h2 Kawa 2027 1938 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 55  1C1-h2 Kawa 2041 1938 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 67  1C1-h2 Kawa 2078 1939 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 73  1C1-h2 Kawa 2084 1939 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 91  1C1-h2 KSK  1636 1938 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 94  1C1-h2 KSK  1639 1938 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 131 1C1-h2 KSK  1746 1939 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 133 1C1-h2 KSK  1748 1939 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

C 58 138 1C1-h2 KSK  1753 1939 For Singapore - Bangkok military train service

Kawa = Kawasaki

KSK = Kisha Seiko Kaisha

After the war nothing has been heard of these Japanese locomotives. Where did they dissapear? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.92.186 (talk) 21:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Given Thailand was Imperial Japan's ally while the trains were in service in Thailand and Malaya (Singapore included), it's hard to pinpoint which country they ended up in (Thailand or Malaya). It would be helpful to look up materials from both countries for confirmation, maybe dig up something from their national archives. - Two hundred percent (talk) 09:52, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

This article sucks
No history prior to privatisation, no history prior to formation of Malayan Railways and no details on infrastructure (old and new). Lazy Malaysians. - 60.49.108.253 (talk) 14:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Get to work then! Lazy IP editor. Jpatokal (talk) 15:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. All you do is complain and expect others to do it for you. What's your excuse, anon? - 60.50.241.20 (talk) 12:28, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
