The Gua Musang to Wakaf Bharu train, up close.
This is the wildest part of the Jungle Railway, from the limestone town of Gua Musang down through the Kelantan interior to Wakaf Bharu, the station for Kota Bharu. It is served by the Shuttle Timur, a diesel unit that stops at every station, and by the long distance Ekspres Rakyat Timuran.
Through the Kelantan rainforest
The line follows the rivers of the Kelantan interior through forest and small villages. Dabong, a stop on the way, is the access point for Gunung Stong State Park and the Jelawang Waterfall. The section between Kuala Gris and Gua Musang was the last to open, in 1931, completing the line from Gemas to the coast. On 2 of 4 trains, the ride happens in daylight: SH52 (08:15), SH58 (14:40).

The fastest train, the SH58, takes 4h53m, and the slowest takes 6h03m. There are 4 trains a day: the first leaves Gua Musang at 05:18 and the last at 17:25.
Wakaf Bharu for Kota Bharu
There is no station in Kota Bharu itself. Wakaf Bharu, on the other side of the Kelantan River, is the stop used for the city, and Tumpat, a little further on, is the end of the line.
