Pakcik bought some nasi lauk and wishes to cross the tracks towards his house which is located at the other side of train station.

Another train has left the building.

The train are ready to go on a nice Saturday morning as I arrived at the Kuala Krai train station.

The Kuala Krai train station. Feb 4th 2006. Time was 9:28 am. And one thing good about Kuala Krai is most of the morning there are fog. Looked kind of romantic and relaxing.

The tracks towards Menek Urai.

Kuala Krai sign.

Pakcik going home happily with a few packs of nasi lauk. For the family !

Now this is new 2006 land mind manufactured by Malaysian cow. And from this you could say that this cow has balanced diet. But this cow has obviously drink too little of water resulting the poo is a little bit dry. However the freshesness is guranteed cause you see the flies are all over it. And babeh these flies are the healty flies, and 10 minutes later these flies will fly to your kitchen and stop over your dish and your steaks and stuff like that. That's why, sometimes we shouted at people :" You are going to eat shit and die!" Indeed we sometimes are eating cow shit ! And WTF am I writting on a sunday morning like this ? I don't know. Enjoy the cow poo anyway!

And old store room for the KTM of Kuala Krai, perhaps still functional but... and you could see a train stopper or the terminator. Yes the train stopper or terminator is used to prevent the train from accidentally reversing towards the end of the track and derail happens.

Old freight train with old store room. The ages of 2 of them if added up could be like 100 over years maybe.

The wheel system.

An abandoned freight train. Looks quite lonely here yeah/

Crime Scene number 1, when you see a black plastic bag covering something, crime scene. And when you see the plastic bag is all over the train tracks, something really bad has happened. LOL ! Neah, the crime scene here is only because some people just throw the plastic bag on the ground and littering the beautiful Kuala Krai town. Of course I wouldn't want to mess with the black plastic bag cause I really not sure of there isn't a torso or limb down there. Gil Grissom run away fast fast!!!

The Yuk Chai school ! Where I studied 2 years of kindergarden, 5 years of primary before moving on to Kota Bharu. Boy this is where I grew up. When I was in the primary school my father was the "Penolong Kanan" there, so I was sort of "well protected" and has many privellage. But often, after school the teachers are having meetings, i would have to wait with a group of teachers's kids under the tree, and gossip like some 38 aunties !! LOL I love those time.

The Y ( should be W ) junction for train diversion or storage purpose. Obviosly these tracks are seldom used cause there are grass and plants all over it.

The land mine left by the Japanese invasion in 1940s. Once you step on it , babeh , I am sorry you are so dead !

The train track's diversion or splitting system. From here the train could get diverted to original track or second track, for the purpose of , you know, get diverted to allow second train to pass on or an express train which is already late to catch up time. It is also very famous in the older time movie where the tracks might just clip ( read Kiap ) on the heroes feet, while a train is approaching fast while the girlfriends shouts helplessly at a side or something like that. These scene always scared the crap out of our parents.

Rail track diversion controller. OMG this thing is old, it's been here since I was a kid, perhaps as old as 40 or 50 years. Another proud products of British colony I guess.

The direction torwards Manek Urai and Gua Musang. And yes you would eventually arrive at Jerantut (Taman Negara) , then Gemas till JB or you could turn around and u-turn to Kuala Lumpur at Gemas station. All begins from Tumpat and passing this little town called Kuala Krai.

The locals residents are going to somewhere, perhaps going back to KL or going to Kota Bharu after the weekend break.
