  Heard that there are no more money trains.The one u saw is the maintenance locomotives.They come out at midnight to inspect the tracks and everything once the MRT svc stops.

  that yellow colour train you saw, is called a schoma electric shunter..

  there are 4 Schoma electric locomotives in smrt.
  
  EL01, EL02, EL03 and EL04.
  
  I was told the on-board diesel engine was removed from these locomotives.
  The small diesel engine was to charge the battery units through a mini-dc generator.

  there's also another yellow colour train, made for maintenance usually...

  called the deli loco. SMRT has 15 units of this..

  It's Ten Mile Junction, and yes, the road is that long. To gauge, the old name for Beauty World is Seventh Mile.

  you see, Bukit Timah Road is an extremely historic route in Singapore as it has been around since 1845. Back then, Singapore consisted mainly of the city, a trunk road running east to west and this trunk road bringing us up to Woodlands Causeway and the city centre.

  Before we had new towns that divided this long road into the present day form consisting of Woodlands Road, Bt Timah Rd, Dunearn Rd so on and so forth, the whole long stretch was basically known as Bt Timah Rd. Now, to tell travellers on the road where they were, there were markers, stone markers with numbers like the ones we see in Malaysian Federal Roads. These markers marked every mile from the beginning of the road in the city, up to Woodlands. Thus, where Bt Panjang Road intersects, there used to be a big roundabout there which is also "Mile no. 10". The Malay residents there used to call it (Batu 10), and if we go down to beauty world, it'd be (Batu 7 -Seventh Mile). Thus, the name Ten Mile Junction was derived out of the historic reference to the place, which marked the 10th mile of Bukit Timah road.

  He did use the phrase "most of the time".

  And to clarify, there are no such things as a perm EMU. Trains may be stabled at any of the 3 depots and may run on any of the 2 lines.
