In Singapore, the Mass Rapid Transit or also known to you and I as MRT has been quickly replacing the railway tracks as a form of transport. every year new stations around Singapore are being developed and constructed. One example is the recent set up of the Circle Line. When the new comes, the old will definitely be replaced. With more and more MRT routes being constructed each year. MRT has formed the backbone of railway tracks in Singapore. So why is there a need to keep the old Tanjong Pagar Railway Track when theres a more efficient mode of transportation?
Singapore is a small country with limited resources, especially when it comes to the size of available land area. Yes Singapore is known for multi racial harmony and its superb heritage conservation. However when it comes to times like this. She cannot afford to let so much land go to waste. This is a place where families are reunited. and also a place where families had to say their goodbyes. wishing their loved ones a safe journey. It is a pity that such a place may have a chance to be torn down.
Ive chosen to draw the main entrance because this is where people used to stream in. There is alot of fine architecture there. I have not been able to catch all the details because there are just too much to take in. But for the people who constructed this building, i'm sure they put in alot of hard work into it. It has been so long since this rail track has been in use. However when i visited this place today. I was quite in awe on how well maintained the main entrance was. Hopefully this place will not be torn down, so that the future generations can see how a railway track actually looked like in the past.
