Journey 1969: Tanjong Pagar Station

Relive a Lost Era of Rail Travel

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station was more than a transit point. It was a place of arrivals and departures, reunions and farewells, connecting Singapore to the rest of the Malay Peninsula.

This VR experience transports you back to the 1960s, when the station was filled with travellers, vendors, station staff, and families sending off their loved ones.

Using archival materials and historical records, the station’s Art Deco architecture, sights, sounds, and atmosphere have been carefully recreated to bring this iconic space back to life.

Choose from two ways to experience the station:

• Story Mode

Follow the journey of a first-time traveller setting off on an adventure, guided by a narrative that brings the station’s history to life.

• Free Exploration Mode

Wander through the station at your own pace, discover its spaces, and take in the atmosphere without following a set path.

Built in 1932 and conserved today as a national monument, Tanjong Pagar Railway Station remains an important part of Singapore’s heritage and collective memory.

This experience pays tribute to the romance of cross-border rail travel and the generations of Singaporeans and Malaysians whose journeys began here.
