Beaufort (Sabah) by train
Beaufort is a major station on Sabah State Railway's limited network. Trains operate between Beaufort and Tanjung Aru in Kota Kinabalu as well as along the scenic Padas River gorge to Tenom in the interior. The new train line opened in Feb 2011. There are about 4 trains operating between KK and Beaufort and the journey is two hours 15 minute. Economy fare is RM4.50 one way.
Going to Tenom however, the train is the only option from Beaufort (the road to Tenom requires a long detour via Papar). The track snakes along the Padas River and the journey is quite interesting, although the jungle along the way is no longer untouched. Diesel engines and railcars operate along this stretch. There are 2 trains daily. Journey is about two hours (economy RM3.80 one way) and the train stops at many stations along the way, some just a wooden platform in the middle of thick bush. The train is often used by those going for whitewater rafting on the Padas River. Most trips start from Pangi station and end at Rayoh where you catch the train back to Beaufort.
