The world's busiest border crossing and the world's most inappropriate rails-to-trails conversion: hasbrouck.org/blog/archives/002803.… #bicycle #border #railstotrails

Aerial vier looking south from Malaysia to Singapore. Causeway at right between Johor Bahru (Malaysia) and Woodlands (Singapore) is the world’s busiest international border crossing. The RTS Link railway viaduct at left is largely complete but the rail shuttle is not yet in operation. The limited vestigial rail shuttle service on the original causeway is scheduled to be discontinued once the RTS Link enters service, in theory by the end of 2026 although the project has been delayed repeatedly.

I folded this crane today on the 80th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, thinking of my friend Kyoko Kondo. She was born in the US, but fearing increasing ethnic violence against Japanese-Americans as WW2 continued, her parents sent her to Japan for safety -- to live with family in Hiroshima.
