Old rail station to be saved

Seen better days: A derelict structure is all that’s left of the Melalap railway station about 160km from Kota Kinabalu.

KOTA KINABALU: A long-forgotten, dilapidated railway station in Sabah’s interior Melalap district, some 160km from here, is set to be restored to its former glory.

Left in the midst of an estate, the Melalap railway slowly lost its functionality when roads were built in the 1960s.
