Some time after Parit Buntar the train began to pass a vast body of water...
Welcome to Tasik (lake) Bukit Merah, a sight much awaited for those who have plied the route...
You see the railway tracks actually cuts through the lake via a causeway made since decades ago.
However, currently the view is a bit 'spoiled' because of the new bridge being built under the railway double-tracking project extending from Johor Bahru in the south all the way to Padang Besar in the north.
Tasik Bukit Merah is also known to be a favourite for anglers due to the variety of freshwater fishes available...
Here's a view towards the east unobstructed by the bridge...
See how the causeway features? On its own (minus the uncompleted bridge that is) the causeway is part of the beauty.
At the moment the bridge seems to obstruct the actual beauty of this lake. Seen slightly in the background at the foot of the hill is the recreational area called Bukit Merah Laketown Resort.
However I have no doubt, once-fully completed and the train service has been transferred on it, the bridge would soon add to the beauty.
A patch of the lake as we began to leave its perimeters towards Taiping. Seems like a good place for fishes to play hide and seek...
