This image shows three of the ferry pier locations as reclamation progressed. The second? location is a floating pier next the roadside and the older estate. A Star Ferry is heading towards it. Of interest is that the substantial newly built permanent pier near the railway station seen in earlier images  has already disappeared. A planning problem? Related images

Turntable-Tsim Sha Tsui East

The locomotive Turntable  referred to earlier by 'T' is seen clearly here next to the HKYF Co pier. While the turntable has gone I believe the long building next to it is still there today used for housing small KCR freight locomotives. Remarkable in this picture is the extent of the freight transfer yards no longer in use at this location
