Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - The Old Railway Station

The Old Railway Station in Kuala Lumpur used to be the city's railway terminal for the KTM trains. Not any more, when the railway terminal shifted to the more modern KL Sentral in 2001. Today, the station functions as one of the many stations used by the KTM Komuter trains travelling the Rawang-Seremban Route and the Sentul-Port Klang Route.

Situated along Jalan (Road) Sultan Hishamuddin, the Old Railway Station was built in 1910 during the British colonial era. The station is a fine example of British colonial architecture with its mix of Western, Moorish and Mughal designs. Major features of the station include its dome-shaped pavilions, unique ogee arches and pointed minarets.
