1 june 1885 marked an important milestone in the history of the Malaysian railway service as it was on this day that the first railway track commenced operation connecting Taiping to Port Weld ( Kuala Sepetang) in Perak.
In 1901, the British government intergrated all the state railway services known as the Federated Malay State Railway (FMSR). FMSR played a pivotal role in the development of the country's rail service. In the 1948, its name was changed to Malayan Railways (MR). On 1 August 1992, MR was changed to KTMBerhad following the government's decision to privatise the railway service.

The first Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) used for the KTM Komuter service commenced operation on 3 August 1995. In 2002, KTM received 20 units of Blue Tiger , the High Powered Electric Locomotive and 20 units of Dallan , also a high power electric locomotive series in 2005.
