Peak Tramway - 3.2, Hong Kong, 1983

Submitted by Klaus on Wed, 2016-01-20 22:56

A photo taken from (quite likely) Barker Road. On the left-hand side is a house with a red roof, this is Villa Blanca (http://gwulo.com/node/5603).

Epworth Lodge is right-hand side of the tram station, for me it looks as if the house is without windows.

Text with this image: "The second of two images of the Peak Tramway from the same location, this one using a "normal" 50mm lens." (First one is http://gwulo.com/atom/23556) <Read more ...>

歲月神偷白加道纜車站 Barker Road Station 2008, Hong Kong Now and Then

Submitted by Klaus on Sat, 2016-01-02 00:31

Photos of the Barker Road station of the Peak Tram. The old photo is from the 1910s, the others are from 2008.

On the old one Glenshiel is visible behind the tracks, this likely sets the date to about 1915. On the 2008 one Epworth Lodge can be seen. <Read more ...>

Diesel locomotive 东风 0149 (DF 0149) and train.I believe that this photo shows the "second" of the two daily "intercity" trains to Guangzhou.

My notes confirm the location as Sheung Shui (上水) station. I believe that this train was working northward. <Read more ...>

Peak Tram and new Richmond Houses

Submitted by Klaus on Fri, 2015-06-19 00:17

Nearly got it. By the end of 2002 the new Richmond Houses A-D are under construction, ~~so second generation Richmond House was probably demolished in 2001 (in November 2000 it was still standing).~~ That was an error, second generation was already gone by end of 1999! <Read more ...>
