After a 60 year absence, trains may again be chungging into Malacca.

KTM behad is conducting a feasibility study on restarting the former Tampin-Malacca link.
Anohter study is on the Mentakab-Kuantan link.

The Tampin-Malacca link ended in World War Two when the Japanese dug up the tracks and
used them to build the Dealth Railway between Thailand and Mynmar.

A rail link would benefit Malacca, providing the historical city with an alternative mode of
trasport.

Malacca doe not have a major port, the railway will serve passengers rather than freight.

All of the lines in the Malaysia Railway network are single - track, except for
the
section of the main line between Rawang and Seremban, and also the
branch line
Sentul - Kuala Lumpur - Port Klang, which is now double tracked and
electrified to
25kV AC, to accommodate electric commuter trains.

There are several other railway lines not under the control of KTMB. This
includes
the Kuantan - Kerteh line which is owned by Petronas and Sabah Railway
