"Missing" Tourist Attraction

Just came across this post card in one of the countless convenience stores (none of which are very convenient) along Tingkat Tong Shin:



The amusing thing is that it depicts the old Penang Hill Railway funicular train. The problem is - that railway is no more since the tourism ministry decided to modernise it (as I wrote back in February).  When in some distant future it reopens it will be some modern aircon'ed high speed monstrosity that will have absolutely zero attraction left for any tourists.
