	THE MALAYAN RAILWAY PAGE PAGE
		The railway played a very important part in the development of the country and is very much part of our history and heritage," says Paiman Keromo, antiquities director of the Museums and Antiquities Depart-ment.

	Steam in West Malaysia 1996
		Having been introduced to Malayan railways in 1930 on a batch of 4-6-4 tank locomotives and applied in 1932 to the final batch of Class 55 locomotives, RC valve gear utilised poppet valves instead of slide or piston valves to control the admission and exhaust of steam to-and-from the engine cylinders.
		Two others are rusting quietly away, serving sadly as railway station decorations, poignant reminders of the glory days of steam, and hardly noticed by passengers passing through on the modern, air-conditioned express trains.
		The venerable railway station building and land have been sold to Singaporean developers and international passenger trains now arrive at and depart from a new facility in Woodlands in the northern part of the island.

		It seems to me that Khun Niphat's History is probably going to interfere with the main purpose of this thread or forum, so I've moved and quoted some of the relevant posts in a new thread on 'Hat-Yai History' in the 'Thai History Subforum'.
		Hat-Yai's history as a junction, drawn on Malayan maps, makes it relevant here; but I think Khun Niphat's total history is not relevant to a thread on Malayan Railway Maps.
		After selling them the land for the Railway Quarter', Khun Niphat convinced the powers-that-be to call it Hat-Yai Junction, as this was less of a mouthful for foreign passengers and would-be entrepreneurs.
