Location

The Kuala Lumpur railway station is a Malaysian railway station located in Kuala Lumpur. Construction began in 1910 and was fully completed in 1917. Replacing an older station on the same site, the station was Kuala Lumpur's railway hub in the city for the Federated Malay States Railways (FMSR) and its successor Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) (English: Malayan Railways), before Kuala Lumpur Sentral station assumed much of its role in 2001. The station is notable for its architecture, adopting a mixture of Eastern and Western designs.

The station is located along Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin', previously known as Victory Avenue, which in turn was part of Damansara Road. The station is located closely to the similarly designed Railway Administration Building, as well as the National Mosque and Dayabumi Complex. The integrated Pasar Seni LRT and MRT station is located 400 metres away, across the Klang River, and is designated as a connecting station with Kuala Lumpur on official transit maps.
