In search of the missing Labuan Railway Tunnel entrance

I guess i  have actually found it 10 years ago 
and totally forgotten about it 
until i saw a Facebook post about it. It was found after doing an image overlay of a rough map 
i got from either the Labuan or Chimney Museum on the Google Earth 
and later confirming the spot with a photo taken form a hill just opposite it 
since the location of the coal mine Railway tunnel entrance 
is now a security area of the Army.

























The photo of the map i took from the museum

























The image overlay on Google Earth


and the dash of the railway line and tunnel on the map matches the odd bushes
