Accidental Tourist - Ode to a Grand Dame...Tanjong Pagar Railway Station

It seems befitting that I post a "goodbye" post on 30 June 2011, the last day of operations of the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. Like many people, it was a case of "lamenting when it is gone". Sometimes it is not the building or the bricks but the sights, sounds, people & smells of a location that one will miss after it is gone. Quite some people have thronged the station since news of it broke out and it is only fitting that I do the same as after all, one does not see the closure of a 79 year old train station every other day.....here's some snapshots to remember this grand old dame (a beauty in its time; soon to be a memory of years gone by):




Till the next time, off to the world and beyond!
