Breakthrough cutting the hill
This part got famous as natural scenery from the movie "The Railway Man" and is a testimony to a sad past.
The cutting was completed in approximately six weeks, in which sixty-nine men were beaten to death by Japanese guards while many more died of issues such as starvation, cholera and exhaustion. However, most deaths came from the labourers that were made false promises of good jobs. These labourers (mainly Malayans) suffered the same fate as the Prisoners of war, but no record was kept of their death.
