Pada akhir tahun 30an, Perkhidmatan Keretapi Siam dengan Kerjasama Perkhidmatan Keretapi Tanah Melayu telah mengembangkan sayap perkhidmatannya hingga ke Singapura menerusi Ekspress Bangkok- Singap ...

Rupanya keretapi tahun 30-an dan millenium ni sama saja kelajuannya .. Sepatutnya makin lama semakin laju dan pantas ..

Semasa mula Perang Jepun di Tanah Melayu, pengeboman tentera Jepun memusnahkan banyak stesen, gudang serta landasan keretapi dan juga bengkel KTM di Sentul. Semasa pendudukan Jepun pula banyak landasan telah dibongkar oleh Jepun untuk dipindahkan bagi membena landasan keretapi Siam-Burma dan Segenting Kra. Hampir separuh wagon tren telah dibawa ke Siam dan Indochina. Selepas perang, landasan keretapi telah dipulihkan secara berperingkat , tetapi KTM terus dilanda malang apabila meletus pula darurat. AMD cukup sinonim dengan KTM, bukan sahaja sebagai salah satu mode of transport untuk tugas operasi dan pergerakan pentadbiran, bahkan terlibat menjaga keselamatan perjalanan keretapi.

Semasa zaman Darurat Pertama, KTM menjadi antara sasaran yang dipilih oleh pengganas komunis dalam usaha mereka untuk menimbulkan keadaan huru-hara di Tanah Melayu. Pada keseluruhannya, akibat perbuatan pengganas komunis, KTM mengalami 197 kejadian kegelinciran, 171 kali ditembak, 18 buah stesyen musnah, 580 alat telekomunikasi dan semboyan rosak, 441 kejadian sabotaj landasan dan jambatan, 78 buah lokomotif musnah, serta 36 penumpang terbunuh dan 161 cedera.

Berikutan dengan pengisytiharan Darurat pada tahun1948, KTM telah dilengkapkan dengan Tren Berperisai (Armoured Train) sebagai langkah keselamatan dari ancaman keganasan komunis. Namun KTM yang menggunakan Permanent Way Jeeps yang dinaiki oleh anggota polis bersenjata, sebagai pilot keselamatan, terus dijadikan sasaran serangan oleh penganas komunis. Selepas itu, KTM mengubahsuai lokomotif dengan pelindung keselamatan sebagai Loko Pilot, namun komunis terus mengganas.

Pada 1 Feb 1949, Loko Pilot No 564.32 dan lokomotif No 264.12 yang menarik teren mel malam Kuala Lumpur-Penang, tergelincir antara Banir dan Temuh akibat di sabotaj oleh komunis.

Pada tahun 1952, KTM telah menempah 42 buah Armoured Wickham Trolley (AWT) untuk digunakan oleh Pasukan Polis Persekutuan dan AMD sebagai Pilot Tren dan peronda landasan. AWT ditempatkan di stesen tertentu untuk rondaan dan berupaya memberi bantuan tembakan semasa tren diancam komunis. AWT mempunyai dua pemandu di hadapan dan di belakang, satu 慶upola

Serangan pengganas komunis kemudiannya menjadi reda sehinggalah akhir Darurat Pertama. PS Sebuah AWT dan satu gerabak penumpang yang diletak atas landasan singkat, terdapat di hadapan MUZIUM TD dalam kawasan Pusat Latihan Rekrut (PUSASDA) di Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

KTM Berhad Video


This video briefly features the colourful history of the Malaysian Railway, from its inception as tin-ore transportation in colonial Perak to the usage of diesel locomotives and eventually, the graduation to the electric Komuter train.  The footages and stills date way back to the 19th and 20th century, with some exclusive pictures taken during the British colonial era and the Japanese insurgency.

KTM Komuter

KTM Komuter started revenue services as the first electric rail service in Malaysia on 14 August 1995 between Kuala Lumpur and Rawang. The service was later expanded to cover 153 route-km of electrified double track between Rawang and Seremban, and Sentul and Port Klang (Pelabuhan Klang). The KTM Komuter network has 40 stations including the new KL Sentral Station (Fig. 1). The electrification system consists of a 25-kVac catenary with six substations drawing power from Tenaga Nasional Berhad, the national power company.
The meter-gauge track with multiple aspect signalling allows trains to run at up to 120 km/h. KTM Komuter uses three-car electric multiple units (EMUs) from three different suppliers桱enbacher Transportation System (18 sets), Marubeni Corporation (22 sets) and Union Carriage and Wagons (22 sets). The EMUs have the automatic train protection (ATP) system, which monitors the train speed and applies the brakes automatically if the driver fails to respond. This safety feature permits one-man operation, which had never been used before in Malaysia.
KTM Komuter's 215 daily services start at 05:30 and stop at 24:00. Services run at a headway of 15 minutes during the morning rush from 05:30 to 09:30, and this frequency is also maintained during the evening peak from 15:30 to 20:00. The service frequency is reduced to one train every 30 minutes at other times.
To ensure efficient ticketing, KTM Komuter uses an automatic fare collection (AFC) system with ticket vending machines (TVMs), automatic gates and magnetic-strip tickets. Although the AFC system has a closed-system design, KTM Komuter faces some problems, especially where the railway fences have been breached by villagers for illegal crossing of tracks. To control fare evaders, KTM Komuter employs roving ticket inspectors to make spot ticket checks.
At present, KTM Komuter carries about 64,000 passengers daily, 61% of whom are young people between 19 and 29. It is also carrying increasingly more white-collar passengers than when it started. KL Sentral, Kuala Lumpur, Subang Jaya, Bank Negara, Serdang, Seremban, and Kajang stations have high ridership because they are either in densely populated residential areas or are situated close to government offices or commercial buildings. KL Sentral is the biggest connecting station where passengers can transfer between LRT, ERL and intercity trains.
Although located 73 km from KL, Seremban Station collects high revenues because it serves many commuters. Property in and around Seremban is cheaper than in KL and its suburb, so some people are willing to spend more time commuting to enjoy the advantages of larger houses. This trend is expected to continue with more property development occurring further from the city but closer to commuter lines. A similar phenomena will probably occur in the north when commuter services are extended to Tanjung Malim.
To cater for long-distance commuters, KTM Komuter operates two express services in the morning from Seremban to KL, and two express services from KL back to Seremban in the evening. They make only three stops, reducing the journey time from 1 hour 15 minutes to exactly 1 hour.
To increase peak capacity, especially over the section between Sentul and Port Klang, two three-car sets are coupled together to form a six-car set with only one driver. Three six-car services run during the morning and evening peak hours.
KTM Komuter caters for various travel requirements with various types of tickets. In addition to the normal single and return tickets, regular users can buy 12- and 24-trip tickets at 20% discount. Regular travellers using a monthly season ticket enjoy a 33% discount. To encourage people to travel during off-peak times, the Tiket Mana-Mana pass entitles the holder to unlimited travel anywhere on the network on any weekday after 09:00. It costs just MYR6.00 (MYR1.00 = US$0.26). A similar Tiket Kembara day pass for weekends and public holidays costs MYR10.00. It is more expensive than the weekday pass because many people use KTM Komuter at weekends for leisure, shopping, visiting friends and returning to their hometowns. In line with the government intention to create common ticketing, KTM Komuter will be installing contactless Touch'n Go smart card readers in 2003, giving passengers the choice of using a normal KTM Komuter ticket or a prepaid contactless Touch'n Go smart card that is also accepted by the STAR and PUTRA LRTs, buses and toll highways.
Commuter services have affected property development around commuter stations. When commuter services first started, most stations could only be accessed from one side. However, development of housing estates and commercial properties around stations has required the opening of second access points. The need for better access and links with bus stops and other transport modes like taxis has required construction of covered walkways, etc. Popular stations like Seremban, Kajang, Serdang and Sungai Buloh also need larger car parks.
Property development near commuter lines has created new markets. KTMB identified a few locations such as Mid Valley, Sri Damansara and Seremban Two for construction of new stations to meet increasing demand. The most attractive site is at Mid Valley where there is a mega-shopping complex as well as a hotel, offices, and condominiums. This new station is expected to be completed in mid-2004. Currently, KTMB is constructing an electrified double track between Rawang and Ipoh. When completed in 2005, services will run 55 km further north to Tanjung Malim with five additional stations from Rawang.

This project will also include rapid train services with new train sets between KL Sentral and Ipoh. Another big project in the pipeline that should be completed in 2006 is the double-tracking and electrification of a 7.2-km extension from Sentul to Batu Caves, passing through new stations at Batu Kentonmen, Kg. Batu and Taman Wahyu. The extension will serve a new Sentul Station that will be built for the joint-venture Sentul Raya property development on the site of a former railway central workshop
