THE NORTH BORNEO RAILWAY

A ride on the North Borneo Railway is a journey to experience the days of the Chartered Company and the British Colonial rule. 

The North Borneo Railway features a British ‘Vulcan’ Steam Engine number
6-016 manufactured by the Vulcan Foundry Ltd in Newton-le-Willows in Lancashire, United Kingdom.

This steam engine represents the last of a fleet operating in North Borneo since the late 1880s. It is also one of the few functional wood burners left in the world.

The North Borneo train has six colonial period carriages which can accommodate 180 passengers. All the carriages have been refurbished and restored to reflect the luxury of the era.

The train tour is on every Wednesday and Saturday, departing TANJUNG ARU Railway station at 10.00 am.
