Hong Kong Railway Museum

Siralexander This railway museum in Tai Po it is now under management of Leisure and Cultural Service Department, and it opened in 1985.
Located at the site where the Old Tai Po Market Railway Station was built in 1913, it was declared a monument a year after it ceased to be a station in 1983. The site, together with the buildings and relevant exhibits, were then given to the government by KCRC with compliments for the construction of the Museum.
The building is unique in architectural style among original Kowloon-Canton Railway (British Section).
There are three carriages on the tracks for public viewing and appreciation of the contrast between the old and the new, a railroad pushcart, a passenger carriage used between the post-war years and the early 1970s as well as a diesel locomotive introduced in Hong Kong in 1955 which is called "Sir Alexander".
