The North Borneo Railway is the only steam locomotive in Borneo (Vulcan steam engine train). Originally established in 1896, the now restored colonial train ride stops at Papar for sightseeing and passes through the towns of Kinarut & Beaufort. A stylish bar car and observation deck accompanies the train, providing a comfortable lounge area to enjoy and view the passing paddy fields, rainforests and plantations of rubber and coffee. On the return trip to Tanjung Aru Railway Station, a typical colonial lunch is served on board. The return trip takes approximately 3-hours and 30 minutes.
