GENERAL SURVEY

　　　　　　　　1. The stringent immigration and emigration regulations brought into force by the Chinese Government on February 15th, 1951, and restrictions on the export of various commodities from the Colony were in operation throughout the year. These restrictions coupled with those in force in China on exports to Hong Kong resulted in a large decrease in both. passenger and goods traffic to and from the interior.

2. Gross income was $5,509,916.32 compared with the previous year's record figure of $10,366,796.75, while nett revenue was only $850,131.86 compared with $6,122,363.83.

　　　　　　　　3. The year was comparatively uneventful, many of the difficulties previously experienced disappearing by virtue of the drop in traffic. The shortage of coaching stock was still felt at week-ends during the winter months when there was consider- able overcrowding, but this will be alleviated by the arrival of new coaches which are expected towards the end of 1952. The delivery of new goods rolling stock was nearly completed, only 10 of the 192 wagons ordered remaining outstanding at the end of March 1952.

　　　　　　　　　4. There was one serious accident during the year. This occurred at Yaumati Station on December 16th, when a passenger train ran into the siding and collided with an engine and several wagons stabled there. The damage to rolling stock was extensive and costly. The accident was caused by a porter acting as a pointsman opening the siding without authority, with a duplicate key, which he had no right to possess but which he had obtained during the Japanese occupation, after the point had been correctly locked and signals pulled off for the passage of a down passenger train. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries or loss of life to passengers or railway personnel.

5. The rehabilitation of the railway workshops, which suffered heavily from looting and damage during the war, was completed during the year with the erection of a new foundry to replace the old one which was falling down. The re-railing programme made good progress, but was still behind schedule owing to the difficulty of obtaining sleepers, and work had eventually to be curtailed. All other rehabilitation work was practically finished and, when the new coaches arrive, the railway will be in a better position than in pre-war days so far as rolling stock, equipment, plant and buildings are concerned.

6. Every effort at economy was made during the year but, unfortunately, these efforts were nullified by the rise in prices of many commodities. This was particularly so in the case of coal and fuel oil which rose from an average cost per ton of $83.79 and $136.47 in 1950/51 to $129.59 and $167.20 respec- tively for the year under review. This alone resulted in an increased expenditure of $308,140, despite a cut of 25% in the train service from May 1st. Staff was reduced where practical, and the numbers employed in March, 1952 were 782 as against 858 in March, 1951.

7. Although the future prosperity of the railway depends on a relaxation of the restrictions now in force, it is possible that the post-war development and increase in population of the New Territories might allow of a small profit on working being made from the carriage of local passengers and goods only. Strict economy of operation will be necessary and, from a long term point of view, a more economical method of traction than the use of 2-8-0 austerity locomotives will have to be found for the short journey to the border. Diesels would appear to be the solution when replacements are required.

　　　8. The question of increasing fares will also have to be considered when the new coaches arrive and passengers can travel without being overcrowded. Local fares have not been increased since 1946, and are only twice those prevailing in 1939.

Coal, steel, sleepers, wages etc. are from four to six times higher, and a proportion of these increases must be passed on to the consumer if the railway is to pay its way.

TRAFFIC

9. Traffic earnings showed a decrease of 50.13% on those of the previous year.

　　　　　　　　　10. In Statement No. 7 at the end of the report, passenger traffic is analysed in the two main categories, i.e., (a) bookings to and from Lowu Station and (b), bookings to and from stations other than Lowu.

(a) Bookings to and from Lowu (non-local).

　　Passengers who use Lowu Station-the border and terminal station of the British Section-are principally those going into or leaving China. In addition, the figures include a small percentage of people who visit Lowu to meet their friends from China, or to see them off at the frontier, and local residents from neighbour- ing villages. The large decrease is entirely due to the restriction on travel referred to in paragraph 1.

(b) Bookings to and from stations other than Lowu (local).

Passengers using intermediate stations, i.e., stations other than Lowu, are practically all Hong Kong and New Territory residents. There was an increase of 203,525 in number, or 7.46% over the preceding year; and $15,824 in receipts, an increase of 7.47%. This is attributable to more people picnicking and hiking in the New Territories and to the growth in population.

11. Goods traffic figures, sub-divided into (a) Invoiced to and from Lowu and (b), Invoiced to and from stations other than Lowu, are set out in Statement No. 6 (Part 1).

(a) Invoiced to and from Lowu (non-local).

The reasons for the decline in non-local goods traffic were the restrictions on exports brought into force from time to time during the year. This naturally affected the flow of merchandize to and from the Colony as a whole, and railway revenue was considerably affected.

(b) Invoiced to and from stations other than Lowu (local).

The increase in local goods traffic was due to a rise in population in the villages along the railway.

　　　12. Although both passenger and goods traffic showed a drop compared with the preceding year, it is interesting to record that, on the 29th January 1952-the last day of the Chinese New Year Holidays-41,734 passengers were carried. This number of passengers created a new record for this short railway.

　　　13. In order to cut down running expenses, a new time- table was brought into operation on May 1st, 1951. The daily train service was reduced to 20 steam and 2 rail-buses with occasional goods trains when required. At week-ends through- out the year, late night leave-specials were run for the benefit of military personnel stationed in the New Territories. During the picnic season (November to March) additional shuttle services were run on Sundays and public holidays between Kowloon, Yaumati and Shatin to relieve congestion on ordinary passenger trains.

　　　14. Platform tickets were re-introduced on September 1st, 1951, at Kowloon Station. A sum of $3,366.60 was earned from

this source from September to the close of the year.

　　　15. During the Ching Ming (3.4.51-8.4.51) and Chung Yeung (9.10.51) Festivals-grave visiting days for the Chinese-

　　　　　　special rail-buses were run from Fanling to the Wo Hop Shek cemetery via the branch line.

16. A new signal cabin erected at Hung Hom was brought into use on May 16th, 1951. The exit from and entry into the workshops, carriage sheds and coaling stage were mechanically interlocked with the traffic lines, thus leading to greater safety of operation at this busy point.

17. Train punctuality throughout the year could be regarded as satisfactory despite delays caused by routine Police searches at Fanling or Sheung Shui, and the entraining and detraining of large parties of military personnel on ordinary trains.

850,131.86

20. The various financial and statistical tables may be seen at the end of the report.

21. With reference to the Operating Account (Statement 2) it will be noted that the total operating expenditure amounted to $4,659,784.46 whilst revenue totalled $5,509,916.32, leaving a nett revenue balance of $850,131.86. Although, as recorded

elsewhere in this report, train services were cut during 1951/52, operating expenses were higher than in the previous year. This was caused by (a), the rise in fuel costs, (b), the consolidation of salaries and wages resulting in increased labour costs and (c), the accident at Yaumati in December 1951 which neces- sitated repairs to rolling stock and track costing $153,000.

22. Turning to Capital Expenditure (Statement 1) a sum of $2,538,940.36 was spent during the year under review, the major portion of this expenditure being incurred for new goods. wagons. Investment Assets after allowing for a decrease of $66,028.43, being the cost of rolling stock and plant sold by auction, and the transfer of one 40-ton goods wagon to the Chinese Section to replace one of their wagons damaged in the Yaumati accident, now total $36,070,356.20. An indication of the serious drop in revenue is the fact that nett operating revenue to Capital Expenditure for the past year was only 2.36% as against 18.22% in 1950/51.

23. With regard to the Income Account (Statement 3) it will be noted that provision has been made for interest on Government Investments, i.e., on Rehabilitation Loan and Special Expenditure $599,248.28 plus Amortization of Rehabilitation Loan $776,000.00 $1,375,248.28; whilst on the credit side, the total of the nett revenue balance and interest on Depreciation Reserves is $892,649.75 leaving a debit balance of $482,598.53. This amount has been transferred to the Profit and Loss account which records a loss for the year of $530,180.23.

MECHANICAL WORKSHOPS

　　24. Locomotives, carriages, wagons, tools, plant and equip- ment were maintained to a satisfactory standard for safety and service.

25. Locomotives. Two austerity 2-8-0 locomotives, Nos. 25 and 26 were given major repairs and were converted from oil burning to coal, the Hulson rocking grates being made in the workshops. A 2-6-4 tank locomotive, No. 4, which was damaged in an accident, was also given major repairs which included the straightening of the frames.

　　　　　　All other locomotives received normal routine medium and light repairs as required.

　　　　　There are now eight 2-8-0 coal-burning and four oil- burning austerity locomotives.

The consumption of coal and fuel oil per train- kilometre was lower than the previous year, but the cost was higher owing to increased prices.

The average cost of repairs per locomotive was slightly lower than the previous year due to the reduced kilometrage.

26. Carriages & Wagons. Three carriages were com- pletely rebuilt, the wooden bodies being replaced by steel. All other coaches received medium and light repairs and normal maintenance.

The following all-steel bogie wagons were received from the Crown Agents during the year:-

Oil tank wagons (45 metric ton) Flat wagons (45 metric ton)

Lowsided wagons (46 metric ton)

Highsided wagons (45 metric ton)

The average cost of repairs per carriage was slightly

lower than in the previous year, and that of wagons noticeably lower due to the new wagons being in operation.

　　　　　　　　27. Motor vehicles. 2 rail-buses, 3 rail trolleys, 3 motor cars and one lorry received normal maintenance.

toois

28. Machines and hand tools. Machines and destroyed or lost during the Pacific War have now been replaced and rehabilitation of the workshops has been completed.

　　　　　　　　29. Work for Government Departments. Considerable re- pair work, as well as the manufacture of spare parts, was carried out in the workshops for the Public Works Department, Royal Observatory, Medical Department, Fire Brigade, Crown Lands & Surveys and the Military Authorities.

　　　　　　　　30. Improvements. An important addition to workshop facilities was the provision of

the provision of an internal water supply independent of the Government supply. Water from the hilly area at the back of the shops was diverted into concrete trenches and thence to storage in underground tanks for pumping into overhead tanks. This work, which was completed in October, frees the workshops from the difficulties caused by water shortage, and relieves the Colony's water supply by providing about 35,000,000 gallons of water a year to the railway from streams which normally ran to waste.

　　　　　　　　　　　A modern, fireproof foundry was erected by the Engineer for Way & Works Department in March.

31. Statistical Statements Nos. 10, 12 and 13 relating to coal and fuel oil consumption, repairs to locomotives, carriages and wagons (referred to in paragraphs 25 and 26) are at the end of the report.

32. Maintenance.

WAY & STRUCTURES

Way and structures were maintained in

good order during the year.

　　33. Track. Six and a quarter miles of main line track were renewed, leaving a balance of approximately 5 miles to complete the re-railing programme commenced in 1947/48. The programme is now 12 miles behind schedule as work had to be stopped in December owing to the shortage of hardwood sleepers.

The 2,404 yards of track inside Beacon Hill Tunnel, which were renewed with 110-lb. rails in July 1947, had to be re-railed with 95-lb. rails. Cracks had appeared in the 110-lb. rails, and on two occasions there were fractures. It was con- sidered essential in the interests of safety to replace them.

Various new minor works, the most important being the installation of new crossovers at Lowu, new turnouts at Hung Hom, and track extensions in the carriage sheds etc. were carried out during the year.

34. Rail creep.

　　　　　　　　　　　　Considerable attention was paid to the control of rail creep in the main line. Creeping gauges were set up at every 1 mile and the creep at each of these gauges was measured monthly. The expansion gaps of rail joints over approximately 7 miles of track which had closed up due to rail creep, were adjusted by the addition of suitable rail anchors. With a total of 8,500 "Henggi" rail anchors and 10,000 elastic spikes inserted in the track, the maximum rail creep measured in March, 1952, was 3 inches. This was a great improvement compared to the maximum of 60 inches recorded in 1950-51.

35. Tunnels and bridges. About 20 feet of cracked brick arch inside Beacon Hill tunnel was strengthened with reinforced concrete arch ribs lined with copper sheeting to prevent leaking water from getting onto the track. Minor leakages in several portions of this tunnel were also repaired.

　　　　　All other tunnels and bridges were inspected and repairs and improvements were carried out where necessary.

36. Cuttings. Two minor landslips in the cuttings at Mile 1 and Mile 31 were repaired.

　　　　　　　　　　Several dangerous boulders in No. 1 cutting were removed or supported by mass concrete. Other works carried out on this cutting were repairs to broken channels and face plasters, and the construction of new concrete face walls. Dangerous cracks were also found in a portion of rock at No. 1 cutting. Investigations were made by inserting pins in the sides. of the cracks, so that movements of these rocks could be studied. Readings were taken at specified intervals from December, 1951, but by the end of the year no signs of movement had been noticed.

37. Station Buildings. All station buildings were main- tained in good order during the year, and repairs and renewals were carried out where necessary.

The steelwork of the platform awnings in Kowloon Station was scraped and painted. New windows and an insula- tion board ceiling were added to the Booking Office, and the whole office was overhauled and decorated. Rotten timbers in the balcony outside the Head Office were replaced and the leaking roof repaired.

　　　　　　　　　　New queue railings were erected in front of the booking office at Yaumati Station.

　　　　　　　　　　　The small store-room in Fanling Station was converted into a booking office in order to relieve congestion during rush- hours.

38. Staff quarters. All staff quarters were maintained in as good order as funds permitted during the year.

Construction of a block of new quarters consisting of 8 flats was commenced at Yaumati in February. By the end of March, all reinforced concrete frames, floor slabs and the roof were completed.

Electrical appliances and hot water systems were installed in "A" and "B" Quarters, Hung Hom.

39. Land. The following areas of railway land were leased for various purposes:

435,858 sq. ft. for Military camps etc.

6,000

12,700

2,856

3,000

62,913

14,551

a Bible Auditorium (Seventh

Day Adventists)

a motor garage

storage

film-titling studio

cultivation and gardening

various other purposes

Total 537,878 sq. ft.

Approximately 231,500 sq. ft. of railway land at Hung Hom were utilized by other Government Departments for rice godowns, a cemetery depot and a police camp.

40. Advertising space. Advertising space let out during the year was 7,350 sq. ft. Revenue from this source amounted to $98,738.48.

STORES

41. A complete check of all stores by a Board of Survey in February 1952, showed them to be correct and in good order.

A comparative statement of purchases for the years

1950/51 and 1951/52 is given below:-

　　　　　　　　　42. Coal. The total amount of coal purchased during the year was 6,847 tons, an increase of 347 tons on the previous

year.

The increase was due to the greater use of coal in place of higher-priced fuel oil. From the following paragraph, it will be seen that the increase was more than offset by a reduction in fuel oil consumption.

　　　　　　　　　43. Oil. The price at the commencement of the year was $150.81 per ton. By July, it rose to $165.81 and for the last eight months was $177.81 per ton. With the price of oil at this level, it was necessary, on grounds of economy, to restrict its use as much as possible. In consequence, the total consumption of fuel oil was only 785 tons compared with 2,423 tons for the previous year and resulted in a reduction in actual cost of $195,570.34.

44. Local purchases (general). Local purchases are made either direct from local firms or through Government Stores if the latter's prices are lower. There was a decrease of $95,225 from last year's direct local purchases from firms but a slight increase in purchases through Government Stores.

45. Crown Agents.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　The following summary gives the value of stores and equipment received from the Crown Agents during the year:-

Rolling stock

Workshop equipment, plant, tools and stores for the Mechanical Engineer's Department

$1,716,994.95

309,966.00

Railway materials and the steel structure

for the new foundry shop

Other miscellaneous stores

$ 167,600.00

11,502.00

　　　46. Revenue from the sale of old unserviceable stores during the year amounted to $264,681.13.

STAFF

　　　47. The establishment at the end of the year consisted of the following staff:-

88 Permanent and pensionable

304 Monthly paid

390 Daily paid

782

This was a reduction of 76 over the previous year.

Mr. Hu Kwok Leung, B.Sc. (H.K.), Engineer for Way & Works, proceeded on leave prior to retirement on August 13th, 1951, after completed 33 years service. He was awarded the M.B.E. in the New Year's Honours List.

All Station Masters, Guards, Signalmen, Railway Clerks Class I and II passed the annual examination in first aid.

The health of the staff during the year was generally

good.
