Coming Together - Todays Quiz
This photo was a last minute thought, taken seconds before
leaving the museum for Mong Kok.
It represents three of my main railway interests (Australia/Philippines/Hong Kong),
all in the one place.
Locomotive 51 was an Australian built locomotive for the Kowloon Canton Railway. While most of her sisters have returned to Australia as our TL class,
51 was retained for display in this small museum.
In the background is one of two kettles that were built for the narrow gauge Fanlin - Sha Tau Kok branch line, where it would work from 1924 till the line closed in 1928.
It would then go to the Philippines to send the bulk of its
life hauling sugarcane on Negros Island.
One of three times that Australian built locomotives have come together with locos that have operated in the Philippines.
QUIZ:
I will leave it to everyone else to guess the other two times.
