Johore Causeway
A selection of early pictures depicting the causeway in its early days. These pictures are from old postcards.
The view across Johore yard to the causeway. Did the nearest track lead to the ferry jetty?
Another view of the causeway from Johore, probably taken either during the later stages of construction or during some maintenance work.
A view from the Singapore side before construction of the road. The tracks in the foreground lead to Woodlands station
Another view from Woodlands during construction showing two tracks in use for construction trains. A narrow footpath can be seen on the extreme left. After completion the western track had been replaced by a narrow road.
A picture from the cab roof of a loco
during the Japanese occupation, at the point where the bridge was demolished. I
am told that the Japanese text reads:
Singapooru ni mokau dai-ichiban ressha
First train heading for Singapore
A ferry at the Johore Jetty.
