It gives me great pleasure to announce that Jabatan Keretapi Negeri Sabah or Sabah State Railway Department has its own web site. The web site provides useful and interesting information about the department including its history.

The web site also provides examples of the scenic views along the railway line from Tanjung Aru (Kota Kinabalu) to Tenom, the last station 134 Km away in the heartland of the Murut Community.

Between Beaufort and Tenom lies the Padas Gorge where white water rafting is a popular sport. This stretch of the Padas River is particularly breath taking.

Presently the emphasis of the department is on tourism. However the railway also provides an important means of transportation for the rural people and their produce from the interior to the coastal towns.

Steam locomotive enthusiasts should include Sabah Railway in their list of prime destinations because Sabah, besides being known as "The Land Below The Wind" should also be rightfully called "The Land of The Last Vulcans". "Why?" you ask. Come and visit us to find out!
