through Kelantan a line is being built to run through 
Pahang and Negri Sembilan and join the West coast 
line at Gemas on the Negri Sembilan — Johore State 
boundary. 
In the North this new line was opened from 
Tumpat for 32 miles South in 1914. At the 
Southern end 146 miles from Gemas have been 
completed and are being operated through the States 
of Negri Sembilan and Pahang. This line has one 
branch serving agricultural district from Bahau to 
Kuala Pilah (18 miles) opened in 1910. 
The total length of line opened for traffic at 
the end of 1923 was 1,022 miles and 70 ^additional 
miles were actually under construction. The Railway 
is mostly single line and of metre gauge throughout, 
corresponding with the Siamese Railways. 
The Workshops referred to above are near 
Kuala Lumpur and deal with the maintenance and 
repair of locomotives and rolling stock. Locomo- 
tives are usually manufactured in England and 
erected at the Central Workshops, but the goods 
and passenger stock is manufactured here from 
local timber. These Workshops are fully equipped 
with the modern machinery essential to such an 
establishment. 
Sleeping saloons and dining cars have been 
running on the night mail trains between Kuala 
Lumpur and Johore Bahru since 1911. In 1920 
similar accommodation was provided on the through 
trains between Kuala Lumpur and Prai (Penang). 
Both the sleeping saloons and dining cars are built 
at the Railway Workshops and will stand comparison 
with the stock of any railway in the world. A
