Greetings.  The white house in this photo appears to be the same house shown on this other photo - https://gwulo.com/atom/18874 , on the west side of the track.   Regards,  Peter

Hi Peter,

It was a long time ago but I am fairly certain that all the photographs taken on that train ride in 1958 were taken looking out of the window on the right hand side of the carriage - basically looking to the East, so I don't think that can be the same white buiding.  I have a feeling that the house on my photograph was probably further along the track from Hin Tin somewhere near to where the Hin Tin swimming pool complex is now shown on Google Earth.

Regards,  Andrew
