kajang  to  tampin

Leaving Kuala Lumpur, the next stage of our Great Malaysian Railway Journey continues southwards through Kajang, Seremban, Rembau before arriving at Tambin. 

The 1914 Pamphlet of Information for Railway Travellers only makes a brief mention of this stage of the journey from Kajang to Tampin:


What some account the best dinner in the Malay Peninsula is served on the train after leaving Kuala Lumpur. It is advisable to defer going to bed until Seremban is reached at half-past ten, as passengers enter and alight there but after Seremban the very comfortable beds invite us. 

As the speed over this section is not more than twenty miles an hour it is not difficult to sleep, and, the temperature falling at night, it is cool.


SEREMBAN

Headquarters of the Negri Sembilan Government, a tin mining town, but also centre of a large planting district. This is the junction for Port Dickson, a health resort on the coast, with a sanitarium bungalow (permission from District Officer, Coast, Port Dickson).
