rail corridor

#exploresgtogether #urbanexplorer #hiking #attractions The Rail Corridor is also known for its rich heritage. At the beginning of the 20th century, the railway line was used for commuting and transporting goods between Singapore and the rest of the Malay peninsula. But in 2011, Malaysia returned it to Singapore, and thus another form of travelling now takes place – hiking! With enhancement works, the trail has now been modified for easy access. Some key highlights to look forward to will include the restoration of landmarks like the Bukit Timah Railway Station, two steel truss railway bridges, lookout decks to immerse in nature’s beauty, and paths to enjoy the rainforest experience. Pictured is the Upper Bukit Timah Truss Bridge that dates back to 1932, and remains the only Pratt truss bridge in Singapore. The Pratt truss design features a single tension diagonal in each panel and a compression vertical with parallel chords and an inclined end post. This spot indeed makes a very gram-worthy backdrop!
