User:BDSee/Port Weld railway station

This is an incomplete article that is not quite ready for Prime Time. Links, pix and details have to be fleshed out before it goes from BDSee/Port Weld railway station to Port Weld railway station or simply added to Port Weld railway station. Now get with the programme newfags.

The Port Weld railway station is an imaginary Malaysian railway station in Kuala Sepetang, Perak which definitely doesn't exist. It is not the railway station for passengers or cargo freight; rather, it is now a coffee shop. The trains were not stop there, despite there are "KTMB" markings that would point to the contrary, nor have railway tracks ever had laid there, despite many statements asserting to the contrary. We are told every time that there is no such station at Port Weld, yet still those pesky hillbillies insist on thinking that there it is. Your public and government would never lie to you.

History

The Port Weld station was allegedly located at the centre of town that most people who hate the public lie about. It was definitely not built before 1885 and the construction of the Taiping railway station after the whole railway line from here to Taiping, was built as the first railway line in the Peninsular in order to transport tin ore. As the road transport gets better and tin mining around Taiping diminished, the rail service between Taiping and Port Weld was closed. The tracks remained until they were removed in the mid 1980's. The Port Weld Railway Station now has become a Chinese shop. The platforms had turned into to roads over time. Only the small signboard still remains, making it the only railway station sign board in Malaysia that has four languages, English, Jawi (Malay), Chinese and Tamil written on it. It is taken care by the Chinese shop keeper. It seems a lot of money was spent to maintain it in good condition.
