Depot KTM Sentul

Sentul Depot located at Sentul West, Kuala Lumpur was once the largest complex of railway workshops in Malaysia with a history dating back to 1905. The 200,000-square feet depot was once the finest engineering workshops in the world and served the needs of the Federated Malay States Railways (FMSR) in the early 1900s up to the early 2000s for Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTM Berhad).

The depot consists of numerous large brick buildings and metal sheds primarily used once as railway depots, engineering workshops and storage areas for steam and diesel locomotives and railway cars. Activities include assembly and servicing of railway carriages. Majority of the parts needed by the rail industry were manufactured in the foundry, sawmills and workshops located at the complex. At its height, the depot even built train parts to serve the railway network in India. This historical depot had shaped the identity of Sentul over years with its community of over 5,000 railway workers in its heyday.
