North
Borneo Railway
The train accommodates 180 passengers
and consists of five colonial-styled coaches. It gives the
experience of the bygone era of British North Borneo, creating a
time capsule and transporting passengers along the lifeline of
Sabah. It creates the nostalgic romance of travelling on a steam
engine. The North Borneo Railway is built and operated to the
highest of international standards and safety. Another plus is that
the Kitchen car serves “Tiffin” styled meals highlighting an exotic
blend of colonial and local cuisine. These three layer Tiffin boxes,
each one unique, are based on the original dining concept on board
trains at the turn of the century all over Asia.
