Do you know what this place is? Sharp eyes will identify the KTM letters above the window, identifying it as a building associated with the Malaysian railway. This hut is the Kranji level crossing, one of the stops along the new Kranji Heritage Trail.

Jerome witnessed the launch of the trail last week, and gives us an overview of the sites and sights:

The Kranji Heritage Trail intends to bridge past and present through a history of early farming in the area, besides the developing interest in historical sites such as the first Japanese invasion sites on the north-western shoreline in the dark days of February 1942 that led to the eventual fall of Singapore. The trail will comprise 14 trail markers, each of which will incorporate a QR Code – the first of Singapore’s heritage trails to do so. This will enable instant access to information relating to the sites with a QR Code reader installed on any smart-phone.
