Steam train from North Borneo Railway
A locomotive from North Borneo Railway was unable to complete its journey yesterday due to a missing bolt pin.
The steam train departed as scheduled from Tanjung Aru Station but made a turn back after arriving at Kinarut, the halfway point, around 10.30.
According to a source at North Borneo Railway, all passengers affected will be given a 50 per cent refund which will take two weeks to process. Services will resume as per normal on Saturday.
The North Borneo Railway provides the oldest running steam train in Sabah and Borneo and runs two-weekly return departures on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Kota Kinabalu to Papar, all year round.
