The Taiping Railway Station was built in 1885 to facilitate the transfer of tin to Port Weld in Penang which was then the main point for shipping it out of the country. Before the “iron horse” came into service for this purpose, elephants were used to carry the ore along jungle trails.
The current site of the town’s railway station is not its original location. The old station formerly sat on the land which is today occupied by the King Edward VII Primary School.
