Recently M and I took a train trip to Klang, just two stations away from Shah Alam. We were lucky to get a parking spot for our car very near the commuter station before buying our return tickets (2xRM2.20), and boarding the commuter train EMU 28 which came soon enough.

There was the usual secondary forest trees and undergrowth (plus lots of lalang grass) along the tracks most of the time. Just after the Bukit Badak station, I spotted a sheep/goat farm. And we also did cross the Klang River before arriving at the Klang commuter station.

The Stesen Komuter (commuter station of) Klang is the former railway station built in 1890. Although it has undergone several renovation/upgrade works, the colonial architecture of the station remains. It is located in Jalan Besar in downtown Klang. From here it is easy enough to walk the heritage trail of this royal town, starting with ... Klang railway station.

By the way, it is near enough for us to drive to Klang, but sometimes a train trip is more memorable. Right?
