1/15 Thank you and hello! My thesis looks at the history of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR). This thread is about how an Australian-built diesel locomotive came to represent Tai Po, a town in HK. This is the loco here: #NTiHoR 2/15 My idea for this came from seeing an empty shop in a mall boarded up like this. This was in Uptown Plaza in Tai Po. Why was this image chosen? We’ll go through a quick history of the locos on the KCR, then talk about Tai Po and the rail museum, and how they're linked.#NTiHoR
