Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line
The KTM Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line (Malay: KTM Laluan Tanjung Malim–Pelabuhan Klang), formerly known as the Port Klang Line (Malay: Laluan Pelabuhan Klang) is one of the three KTM Komuter Central Sector lines provided by Keretapi Tanah Melayu. The electric trains run between Tanjung Malim and Port Klang. Prior to 15 December 2015, the northern terminus of this line was Batu Caves.
KTM Komuter is an electrified commuter train service first introduced in 1995, catering especially to commuters in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding suburban areas. It is a popular mode of transportation for commuters working in Kuala Lumpur, as they can travel to the city without the hassle of traffic congestion. [citation needed] Coaches are modern and air-conditioned. For those who drive to the stations/halts, 'Park & Ride' facility is provided at a nominal charge.[citation needed]
The line is one of the components of the Klang Valley Integrated Transit System. The line is numbered 2 and coloured red on official transit maps. It was initially named after its current terminus, Port Klang station.
The line began as the Selangor Government Railway which connected Bukit Kuda just outside Klang to Kuala Lumpur, opened in September 1886. In 1890 a bridge across the Klang River was constructed, allowing the railway to be re-routed to Bukit Badak and henceforth towards downtown Klang. The line was extended towards Segambut and Rawang in 1892, as a branch line from the Resident station. The railway reached Kuala Kubu Bharu in 1894 and finally Port Klang in 1899.
In 1989 railbus services were offered on the Sentul–Port Klang stretch. The same stretch, along with the Rawang–Seremban stretch, were electrified in the 1990s. Electrification was later extended to Batu Caves in 2009.
During colonial rule, there used to be a branch line from Padang Jawa to Kuala Selangor; the branch line was dismantled between 1931 and 1934.
At present, the Tanjung Malim–Port Klang Line is the oldest existing (and still operational) railway line in the country, taking the title after the Taiping–Port Weld line was dismantled in 1987.
A new route for KTM Komuter services was introduced in preparation of the infrastructure upgrading works in the Klang Valley Double Tracking project in April 2016. It aimed to increase the frequency and the smooth running of the KTM ETS, KTM Komuter, KTM Intercity & Freight at the Central Sector.
