Post some grand railway (not subway) stations in your city! :D


SINGAPORE:
Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, also called Keppel Railway Station.
It is the terminal station and the southernmost railway station in continental Asia. Built in 1932 to replace a smaller station at Tank Road. The railway links Singapore to Malaysia, and to the rest of the world.
It is in a blended style of Art Deco and Neo Classical.

4 statues in same blended style representing Agriculture, Commerce, Transport and Industry.

The letters FMSR on shields are repeated 3 times. 1 row outside above the statues and two rows inside the lobby dome. FMSR stands for Federated Malay States Railway, the operator. Now it is called Keratapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB). It is the Malaysian national rail operator.

Look like a rainforest in the station :eek:

xD Before, that was where the trains arrived but it was reconverted in the station hall and they planted a tropical garden inside. Among the palm trees there's a little waterlake with lots of tortoises and fishes.
The real station is in that of the second pic, and it's really huge
