Former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station

The former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station in Singapore is an Art Deco terminus of 1932 built for the Federated Malay States Railways, gazetted as a National Monument and closed to rail traffic in 2011.

Why it matters

Included because the land it stood on was Malaysian until 2011: the station was the point at which Malayan railway territory reached into Singapore, and the transfer is why it closed.
