Last of Penang Hill's funicular train

A piece of news in today's newspaper. Our good ole' Penang Hill train will be making it's last run today. The government will replace it with another new type, and upgrading work is supposed to complete by Sept 28 (I think they meant it's this year).

Here's remembering that we also took a short trip on the red funicular train in Jan 2009.



This is the older wooden coach which started running in 1923 (according to the news). It's one of the historic display at Penang Hill. Apparently one of the red funicular train coaches will be displayed together at Penang Hill too.


We don't like crowds especially when now there's probably lots of ppl trying to get a last ride, so having these photos are good memories.
