Kuala Lumpur railway station, Railway station with Indo-Saracenic architecture in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The building combines classical Western architectural elements with pointed arches and domed turrets inspired by Mughal and Moorish architectural traditions.
The station served as the main railway hub of Kuala Lumpur from 1910 until 2001, when operations shifted to the new Kuala Lumpur Sentral station.
British architect Arthur Benison Hubback designed this structure, integrating local architectural elements with colonial building styles commonly used in British Malaya.
The station operates three train services: two KTM Komuter lines connecting to Seremban and Port Klang, plus the ETS line on the West Coast route.
The building housed the Heritage Station Hotel until 2010, featuring a railway museum that displays artifacts including vintage train tickets, uniforms, and railway equipment.
