Railway Museum

Today I went to the Hong Kong Railway Museum 香港鐵路博物館 (九鐵) in Tai Po. It's the site of the previous Tai Po Market Station (Ceased operation in 1983). I contained the old trains and even the tracks were still there, decayed of course. We even got a chance to go into the old locomotives (compartments). I have to admit, it's a really strange place for the KCR station. It's hard to get to (We walked for a long time from Tai Wo KCR), and it's on a hill. It's still next the "working" railway tracks, between "new" Tai Po Market and Tai Wo Stations. Here are a few pictures I took, and for more information about the Hong Kong Railway Museum (currently managed by LCSD), click here.
