The Gemas railway station is a Malaysian train station located at the eastern side of and named after the town of Gemas, Negeri Sembilan. Built in 1922, the station is also a railway junction connecting the West Coast Line (Padang Besar - Singapore) with the East Coast Line (Tumpat - Gemas).
As part of the Seremban-Gemas double tracking and electrification, the Gemas station was rebuilt. The old station building, platforms and a section of the railway tracks have been spared demolition and preserved. They are located beside the new station.
History
The Gemas station was constructed sometime in 1922 as a hub for trains from Penang, Seremban, and Kuala Lumpur. The station also housed a railyard to store active locomotives, the semi-torn down Gemas railyard also had another function as well: a scrapyard for old, broken down locomotives and coaches to be scrapped off as cheap metal.
