batang melaka to johor bahru
1914 Railway Map Showing Sector from Batang Malacca to Johor Bahru.
The 1914 Pamphlet of Information for Travellers published by Federated Malay States Railways was not very complimentary about the final sector of the journey from KL to Johor Bahru:
It is unfortunate that the traveller, whether going up or down the line, must pass during the night the beautiful views of the Rembau valleys, but with that exception the section between Johore Bahru and Kuala Lumpur is quite uninteresting and just as well passed in the night.
These are the current-day stops on this section:
