Is it possible?

A wild imagination still lingers on my mind ..I was wondering if there is ever a possibility of building a railroad or train tracks in Brunei.

Brunei has an expanse of 5,800 square kilometres and a coastline of about 130kms. It has an undulating landscape marked by low hills and wide valleys. A narrow coastal plain is intersected by several rivers descending from a mountainous hinterland ...hmmm

The train tracks can be built either along the coastline, facing the South China Sea or cutting through parts of the rain forests jungle. The beautiful and breathtaking views that one can imagine when travelling on a train crossing through Brunei land ~ especially to Temburong...wow! Maybe with train stations at every of the four districts...and it can even be extended into Miri ~ just like the Singapore-Johore Bahru link.

The Alaskan railroad tracks with scenic views

I hope this 'dream' can be realised and materialised eventually ...some day in the future :) Maybe the train project can be privatised to private companies (yeah was wondering which conglomerate or tycoons will be interested hehee) ...with affordable train fares and special passes for students and senior citizens.

Of course the trains must be modern and highly equipped with necessary facilities ...wooow seems like i am so keen hahaha ...well you can never know, it could attract more tourists into Brunei too ...to experience a train ride within the country.
