In this final three-parter of the Ulu Pandan Heritage Trail, Chun See and Peter bring us their recollections and memories of the railway bridge that crosses over Sungei Ulu Pandan. This bridge was part of the Jurong Railway Line.

According to the 1960 Malayan Railway Berhad Annual Report, the Jurong Line was built by and the project funding came from the company itself and not the Singapore Government. The only reason for the existence of the Jurong Line was purely economics. When Singapore was a part of Malaysia, it was envisaged that Singapore was to be the heavy industrial hub of Malaysia through the Jurong Industrial Estate.

Read about how Chun See ‘blew up’ the bridge (twice), and the history of the bridge (Part 1 and Part 2) on Good Morning Yesterday!
