In 1985, at the beginning of the Reform and Opening-up of the Mainland, shops were erected along the 3rd Pillar of the Sino-British Street Port Boundary. Then-Police Chief Yao Zhiming (second from left) witnessed this history while patrolling with his colleagues. Yao Zhiming provides pictures (originally taken by He Huangyou)

Remins of Sha Tau Kok Branch -- rails, trackbed, bridges and stations

HI everybody,

 

Recently I did a research on Sha Tau Kok Branch (1911-1928) that locates remains on the trainline. Interesting to find many remains more than my expectation. In short, I located 3 bridges (2 confirmed but 1 uncertained), miles of railbed and 2 stations locations (Wu Hang and Shek Chun Au Stations)

This panormama was taken in 1967. It appears the fields were still in use instead of being left fallow and the Luk Keng villages were still fully inhabited instead of left derelict. The white building across the Starling Inlet is the Sha Tau Kok Police Station which was at the border between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The tall mountain is Wutong Shan. Shenzhen was a sleepy place back then. Now Shenzhen is a thriving city and Luk Keng is a sleepy place.
