TRAVEL

Steam Loco. Malay Railroad [RG-31] 

 

Armoured rail car [RG-49] 

Armoured Rail cars travelled in the front of the trains during the journey up to the "sharp End" and Burma, they helped to deter any possible ambushes by the CTs. Note- There is/was only one railway line up through Malaya from Singapore and through to Burma.

 

MUAR River Ferry- 1955 [RG-72] 

The only way to cross the Muar river was by this ferry. As can be seen, the boat is tied to the side of the ferry which is no more than a floating platform. Military vehicle had priority over all other trafic.

A check point when entering a town or village. These were manned mainly by the Malay Police who checked the vehicles and occumants to make sure no arms or food was being passed to the C.Ts. Note the wire fencing, this would be all round the village.
