berths, a construction believed to be unique on metre 
gauge railways, will be found in this Exhibition. 
The cabins in the sleeping saloons are roomy, fitted 
with electric light and fans; the restaurant cars 
likewise are fitted with electric light and fans and 
a really good breakfast, luncheon or dinner is put 
up by the Chinese staff provided on these cars. 
The latest development in this direction is the pro- 
vision of a Buffet Car for running on long distance 
trains. 
At Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur, Railway hotels 
adjoin the Station and provide all the facilities of 
first class accommodation. 
The Federated Malay States Railways are 
equipped to handle every description of present day 
traffic and in addition to wharves at Port Swet- 
tenham an extensive scheme of wharves has just 
been completed at Prai so as to provide a terminal 
port where the largest ocean-going vessels frequent- 
ing Far Eastern ports could come alongside the 
wharves and discharge direct into Railway wagons 
or into the transit sheds on the wharves. A model 
of the Prai River Wharves is on view in the Ex- 
hibition. 
It soon became evident with the linking up of 
the Federated Malay States Railway system with 
that of the Siamese system, that a very real demand 
for a quick and comfortable service between Penang 
and Bangkok was created. This problem was solved 
by the introduction of a Through Express Service 
between Penang and Bangkok bringing the latter 
town within 34 hours of Penang and within 60 hours 
of Singapore. This service has been so successful 
that it is more than probable that it will be run 
twice a week in the near future.
