Pembinaan jalan keretapi mula dijalankan di sekitar Rekoh. Seorang pemilik sebidang tanah di situ, A. Ramasamy Mudeliar, membuat aduan menyatakan tanahnya dicerobohi dalam proses pembinaan ini: “That the portion of land … contains 7 acres and 55 poles in Reko road Ulu Langat District which I bought on 20th July 1896 for $350-00. In which there were 1 bullock sheds and two houses. Now the Railway Department has taken that lot without settling with me. … Again they set fire to those sheds & houses and they are now erecting some buildings for the railway purpose. - A. Ramasamy Mudeliar” (PEJABAT SETIAUSAHA KERAJAAN NEGERI SELANGOR, 22/01/1897: |"COMPENSATION FOR HIS LAND ON REKO ROAD WHICH HAS BEEN RESUMED FOR RAILWAY PURPOSES").

Rayuan oleh Andrishamy, seorang pemilik tanah di sekitar Kajang-Rekoh, agar pihak British memberikan pampasan yang lebih setimpal dengan keluasan tanah beliau yang telah diambil alih untuk tujuan pembinaan Landasan Keretapi Rekoh-Bangi: “…Petitioner had been a resident of this State for about 9 years and laid his small savings on lands in Kajang with the hope of bettering his prospects and settling here. … he also laid a sum of money on a piece of land in extent 4 1/2 acres situated on the Reko Road. About 5 years ago the Public Works Department took over a portion of the Petitioner's land for the purpose of constructing a road and paid Petitioner a compensation of ($35/-) Dollars Thirty five only. That during this year the Railway Department took over another portion of the Petitioner's land for the Seremban Extension of the Railway. Thus the Petitioner's land has been divided into several pieces. The Petitioner was given a sum of ($20/-) Dollars Twenty only … the Railway taking 100 feet on both sides of the line in addition to the land already taken there only remains two strips of land one between the Public Road and Railway line and the other on the off side of the Railway line. … the Petitioner can in no way utilize these two strips of land … before the Railway took the portion what they required, an offer of ($100/-) Dollars One hundred was made. Lands out here are rising in price from time to time…”

Menurut Pegawai Daerah Ulu Langat yang mengajukan perkara ini, J.R.O. Aldworth, tanah tersebut agak terbiar, dan Andrishamy telah pun bersetuju secara bertulis dengan pampasan awal ($20), tetapi kali ini memohon pampasan yang lebih setimpal: “In 1896 petitioner acquired from the State 4 1/2 acres of land fronting on the Reko Road, immediately outside the present extended town limits. … At the end of last year … a strip of lane 200 feet wide for railway purposes and I awarded to petitioner the sum of $20/-; this I considered very liberal, he lost only 3 roods of lalang land on which were 7 areca nuts and one small coconut, all in a neglected condition. What I took most into consideration in awarding the compensation, which was paid on 12th February, 1900, was the severance of the land. … The petitioner has no legal right to have his case further considered as he accepted my award of $20/-”

Stesen Bangi dibuka pada Sabtu, 14 Jun 1902: “The Kajang Seremban line is really getting on and the first of the new stations, namely Bangee, about twenty-two minutes by rail on the Seremban side of Kajang, has been declared open for traffic. This reminds us that only a very short time ago, we heard that shop-keepers, apparently, found it cheaper to get their stuff brought to Seremban either by steamer to Malacca, and from that point on by bullock cart to Seremban, a distance of over—miles; or else by steamer to Kuala Klang, from thence by rail to Kajang, and from Kajang to Seremban by road, as long strings of bullock carts were constantly seen on this latter route conveying goods to the aforementioned town. We can only conclude that this method of transport is adopted, on account of high rates on the S. U. R. Surely it would pay the Company to keep all this goods traffic in their hands by lowering their rates.” (The Straits Times, 18 June 1902, Page 5: |"F. M. S. NOTES").

Pejabat residen Selangor mengesyorkan pembetulan ejaan stesen keretapi “Bangee” sebagaimana yang telah dilaporkan di akhbar Malay Mail Singapura (juga petikan The Straits Times di atas), kepada ejaan yang betul iaitu “Bangi”. Kesilapan ini dikhuatiri akan kekal, sekiranya tidak dibetulkan segera: “You have no doubt seen in the Malay Mail a notice that a new Railway Station if today being opened for traffic at “Bangee”, beyond Kajang. The name of the place is “Bangi” not “Bangee” as advertised. I think it would be well to ask the Railway Department to spell the name of the place correctly before the misspelling becomes established.” (PEJABAT SETIAUSAHA KERAJAAN NEGERI SELANGOR @ Arkib Negara Malaysia, 25/6/1902: |"BANGI RAILWAY STATION - SPELLING OF NAME").

Tarikh-tarikh pembukaan stesen/landasan keretapi Bangi:-

• 14 Jun 1902: Kajang ke Bangi
• 1 Februari 1903: Bangi ke Batang Benar

(Sumber 1: Malcom Wilton-Jones, 22nd February 2018: |"History of Railways in Selangor")
(Sumber 2: Hafiz @ malayarailway.com, April 5, 2010: |"F.M.S.Railway - KTMB Historical Date: 1900 - 1950").

“On 1 February 1903, the Federated Malay States Railway line was opened from Bangi to Batang Benar, which is near Mantin. It was later extended to Seremban on 2 April the same year.” (Eric Lim @ Museum Volunteers, JMM, January 26, 2021: |"A Very Rough Guide to MANTIN").

Jarak lokasi-lokasi penting sekitar Kajang-Bangi pada tahun 1904, dari stesen keretapi Kajang (Arkib Negara Malaysia, 17/6/1904: |"List of distances from each Railway Station").

Jurutera daerah Ulu Langat mencadangkan agar kerajaan negeri mengambil alih kuarters “small halting bungalow” (rumah persinggahan) milik Stesen Keretapi Bangi, untuk tujuan pemantauan projek pembinaan beberapa batang jalan pedati di sekitarnya, yang bakal menghubungkan Bangi dengan Semenyih serta Jalan Reko (PEJABAT SETIAUSAHA KERAJAAN NEGERI SELANGOR, 17/09/1902: |"PURCHASE OF RAILWAY QUARTERS AT BANGI").

Gambar hiasan: Kiri: Sebuah “halting bungalow”: “banglo singgahan ini sememangnya didirikan oleh British untuk pegawai-pegawainya yang bertugas di luar pejabat. … Maklumlah ketika itu perhubungan dan pengangkutan agak terhad dan lambat. Alat pengangkutan yang digunakan sama ada bot berenjin wap, sampan (lazim ketika awal penapakan Inggeris di negeri-negeri Selat (Singapura, Melaka dan Pulau Pinang), mahupun di negeri-negeri Bersekutu (Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan dan Pahang). Maklumlah, ketika itu perhubungan air, sama ada di laut atau sungai sangat penting, dan bergantung pada pasang surutnya air. Laluan darat pula merupakan laluan tanah merah merentas hutan (semestinya membahayakan) untuk pengangkutan menggunakan kereta lembu atau kereta kuda. Ketika air surut atau keadaan perjalanan yang tidak mengizinkan seperti pada waktu malam atau gangguan hidupan liar seperti gajah, harimau dan buaya, banglo inilah tempat rehat mereka, sebelum menyambung tugas yang diamanahkan. Jadi, banyaklah 'halting bungalow' ini dibina di laluan perjalanan di serata negeri-negeri tersebut.” (AKU BUDAK TELOK, Oktober 28, 2013: |"TELOK 1913: BANGLO SINGGAHAN BRITISH (HALTING BUNGALOW) DI TPG").

Kemungkinan sedikit sebanyak menyerupai rekabentuk rumah persinggahan di stesen keretapi Bangi ini.

Kira-kira 4 bulan setelah pembukaan stesen keretapi Bangi, notis pewartaan disiarkan bagi pembinaan sebuah lintasan keretapi di suatu kawasan di antara Kajang dan Bangi (PEJABAT SETIAUSAHA KERAJAAN NEGERI SELANGOR, 24/10/1902: |"OCCUPATION CROSSING, KAJANG - BANGEE SECTION OF FEDERATED MALAY STATES RAILWAYS.

Pada hari Krismas tahun 1923, kereta api mel dari Singapura ke Kuala Lumpur telah tergelincir dari landasan kira-kira 2 batu selepas Stesen Bangi, kemungkinan di pinggir Hutan Simpan Bangi (kini sekitar UKM / Alam Sari). Kejadian berpunca daripada satu gandar gerabak yang patah, mungkin disebabkan muatan yang berat. Tiada kemalangan jiwa dilaporkan, namun beberapa gerabak serta landasan telah rosak. Lokasi landasan di dalam ruangan yang agak sempit telah menyukarkan kerja-kerja baik pulih. Akibat daripada itu, kereta api mel dari arah bertentangan telah terlewat lebih 8 jam: “A mishap occured to the day mail up from Singapore on Christmas Day, resulting in considerable delay to traffic .. The train, a heavy one, was running to scheduled time until Bangi was reached, at about 6.20 p.m., and had proceeded some two miles on its way to Kajang when the axle of a first-class coach broke, resulting in the derailment of a number of carriages and considerable damage to the permanent way. A break-down train and staff were telegraphed for, and the work of removing the damaged carriages was speedily proceeded with, though it was made difficult owing to the accident happening in a very awkward spot, namely, in the middle of a deep cutting. Consequently, the night mail from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, which should have passed through Seremban at 10.30 p.m. left that place at 7.05 o'clock yesterday morning, eight and a half hours late.” (The Straits Times, 28 December 1923, Page 9: |"F.M.S. Mail Train Derailed").

CATATAN: Perihal Keretapi Mel (Mail Train): Sebelum jalan perhubungan darat dibina, surat-surat dihantar melalui bot atau kapal wap. Menjelang tahun 1900-an, jaringan jalan keretapi dan jalan raya mula dibuka untuk tujuan pengangkutan hasil hutan, lombong, dan ladang yang semakin pesat. Di samping itu, surat-surat mula dihantar melalui jaringan ini, antaranya menggunakan keretapi mel. Pada tahun 1906, landasan kereta api utama telah pun menghubungkan Pulau Pinang, Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, dan Singapura, dengan 93 buah stesen di antaranya, termasuk Stesen Bangi. Seiring dengan itu, pejabat-pejabat pos mula dibuka. Di Bangi khususnya, ia mula beroperasi seawal tahun 1910.

“Keretapi Mel (Mail Train) adalah perkhidmatan henti-henti jarak sederhana. Ianya membawa penumpang, surat, bungkusan, suratkhabar, basikal atau motorsikal. Keretapi ini dilarikan samada di waktu pagi atau malam. Ianya akan berhenti di semua stesen dan perhentian di sepanjang laluan.” (zkeretapi, 20 June 2021: |"Perkhidmatan Keretapi Penumpang").

Kiri: Keretapi Mel di Padang Rengas, Perak, 1900-an (C.J. Kleingrothe @ NATIONAAL ARCHIEF, THE HAGUE, 1907 @ National Archives of Singapore: |"Malay Peninsula (Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States), 1907").
Kanan: Keretapi Mel Singapura-KL sedang melintasi Tambak Johor, sekitar pertengahan 1920-an. Kemungkinan seangkatan dengan keretapi yang terlibat di dalam kemalangan ini: “ACROSS THE JOHORE CAUSEWAY. A mail train of the Federated Malay States Railways on its journey from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, a distance of 264-1/4 miles. The causeway is 60 ft. wide, has a length of 3,465 ft., and connects the mainland with the island of Singapore.” (Mike's Railway History, 2010: |"THE DEVELOPMENT OF MALAYA: A Line that Brought Prosperity to the Jungle").

Contoh surat yang dihantar oleh keretapi mel: “Mail carried on trains were marked with a boxed ‘TRAIN LETTER’ like this one sent from Penang, and carried by rail to Alor Star for onward transmission by flight to Europe.” (Alan Teh Leam Seng, June 12, 2021: |"Glimpse into our rich railway past").

Contoh lain: Kumpulan surat-surat Robert Stevenson, pengurus ladang Bukit Tunggu(l).

Kini rangkaian jalan dan lebuh raya telah meliputi segenap pelusuk, lalu menjadi kaedah utama penghantaran surat dan bungkusan. Namun begitu KTM Distribution (anak syarikat KTM Berhad) masih menawarkan khidmat penghantaran menggunakan kereta api dari stesen ke stesen, terutamanya barangan berat atau berkuantiti besar seperti motosikal, stok jualan, dan sebagainya.

LATAR PERISTIWA: Hutan Simpan Bangi.

Keretapi mel penumpang tergelincir di sekitar Bangi, akibat kesilapan petugas operasi landasan (pointsman). Lokasinya tidak dinyatakan, namun kemungkinan di sekitar Stesen Bangi, di mana pointsman selalunya bertugas: “As the result of a pointsman turning the points in the wrong direction, the passenger train from Seremban to Kuala Lumpur was derailed at Bangi at 7.33 a.m. yesterday says Friday's Malay Mail. In consequence almost the entire train service from Kuala Lumpur was disorganised yesterday, but hard work all day made the line clear by 8 p.m. The down mail was four hours late and the up night mail to Penang was delayed over an hour. The connection to Malacca by the 12.45 p.m. train was maintained by tran-shipping at Bangi.” (The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser, 23 May 1927, Page 8: |"Untitled").

Seorang ahli bomba meninggal dunia ketika sedang bertugas di atas keretapi KL-Gemas, akibat terhantuk kepala pada tiang sebuah jambatan di antara Bangi dan Batang Benar: “An accident which ended fatally took place on the 7.40 a.m. train from Kuala Lumpur to Gemas on Thursday when a Tamil fireman named Kunchi is stated to have struck his head against an abutment when the train was passing a bridge near Bangi. The unfortunate man dropped down between the telegraph poles between Bangi and Batang Benar stations and died a few hours later in the Seremban Hospital, death being due to a fracture of the skull.” (The Straits Times, 9 July 1932, Page 17: |"RAILWAY DEATH").

CATATAN: Kejadian yang hampir sama berlaku pada tahun 1961, melibatkan seorang pelajar sekolah.

Harga promosi tambang keretapi, termasuk Seremban-Bangi-Serdang. Harga tambang Melaka-Seremban ketika ini: $1.80 (The Straits Times, 11 October 1934, Page 12: |"CHEAP TICKETS").

Hujan lebat menyebabkan sedikit kerosakan pada landasan keretapi Bangi-Kajang: “Owing to heavy rain mail trains were delayed last night, the sections most affected being between Serendah and Sungei Choh and between Kajang and Bangi. The line is now repaired, and trains are able to pass at a reduced speed. The Singapore mail arrived at Kuala Lumpur 28 minutes late today, the Penang mail 35 minutes late, and the mails to Singapore and Penang were some hours late.” (The Straits Times, 29 October 1935, Page 12: |"RAIN DELAYS MAIL TRAINS").

Kejadian amuk di atas keretapi Singapura-KL sejurus selepas stesen Bangi. Pengamuk kemudiannya terjun dari keretapi kira-kira 4 batu dari Kajang, di sekitar Sungai Tangkas, lalu mengamuk pula di sebuah rumah kongsi di bawah sebuah jambatan berdekatan landasan. Amukan turut berlaku di Ladang Sungai Tangkas, kira-kira 2 batu dari situ. Tragedi ini telah mengorbankan sejumlah 9 orang, manakala 12 lagi cedera. Pengamuk tersebut, seorang Banjar bernama Mohamed Arsat/Upoh/Utoh/Makaran/Mat Taram bin Saal, adalah penumpang keretapi, bersama anak dan isterinya. Menurut isterinya, mereka telah menjual rumah dan tanah mereka di Bagan Terap, Teluk Anson (Teluk Intan). Berbekalkan hasil jualan sebanyak $200, mereka merancang untuk ke kampung mereka di Pulau Tunggal, Sumatera. Mereka menaiki bas ke Bidor, kemudiannya naik keretapi ke Singapura. Malangnya tambang kapal dari Singapura ke Pulau Tunggal ialah $40 setiap seorang, dan wang mereka tidak mencukupi. Mereka terpaksa kembali ke Teluk Anson, dengan menaiki bas ke Labis, dan kemudiannya menaiki keretapi ini. Selepas kejadian, pengamuk telah melarikan diri ke Teluk Anson, dan membuat laporan kehilangan anak isteri di Sabak Bernam. Di situ beliau tertangkap dan dikenalpasti oleh saksi. Beliau diadili di mahkamah pada Mei 1948, dan dihukum sebagai tidak siuman lalu ditempatkan di hospital kesihatan jiwa di Tanjung Rambutan.
