Trip on The Only Railway in Brunei

Recommended Posts

I started a one year work assignment in Brunei in January and part of my job involves visiting the ships we are managing that call at the LNG terminal at Lumut, Brunei. The loading jetty is a sea jetty, meaning its 4.2 kilometres offshore and connected to the shore by a long pipeline trestle that carries a single line track for an electric powered rail car that normally hauls a similar sized passenger car. The railway is the only means of access to the jetty and the sip when alongside. The journey takes approximately 22 minutes to make the journey. The rail cars were  manufactured by Alan Keef (photo courtesy of their website). The cars are open sided so if its raining, you're going to get very wet. The track even has a a couple of points for turnouts at the shore and sea ends of the line. There are two passenger cars normally not in use, one at the moment has been lifted off the tracks and is at ground level for servicing. 

In all nice little spin, when its dry, something different. Unfortunately no first and photos can be taken due to terminal regulations.

 

Regards,
