For me it looks like narrow-gauge railway tracks. So it could be the Fan Ling-Sha Tau Kok Railway (see http://gwulo.com/hong-kong-railways-ropeways).

Date picture taken (may be approximate):

Hi,

Based on the title, this photo shows visitors at the KCR construction site. The narrow-gauge railway was used during the construction of the KCR.

Later on, after the main KCR line was finished, the narrow-gauge system was recycled to form the railway to Sha Tau Kok.

Regards, David
