Bukit Bendera Train (1st Generation)

The Bukit Bendera Train (1st Generation) is a historical artifact and a testament to the long and storied history of the Penang Hill Railway. This beautifully preserved original carriage from the first generation of the funicular service, which began in 1923, is now on display for public viewing. It serves as a tangible link to the colonial past and the early days of Penang Hill as a resort for British officials. Seeing the old wooden carriage allows visitors to appreciate the incredible engineering feat of its time and to contrast it with the modern, high-tech funicular in use today. This exhibit offers a fascinating insight into the evolution of transportation on the hill and is a point of interest for history buffs and anyone curious about the heritage of this iconic Penang attraction.
