GENERAL SURVEY

THE financial year 1966-67 closed with extremely good financial results with a nett profit of $3,618,173 despite the exceptionally heavy rainfall and floods in June 1966 and the Cultural Revolution in China during the year. The following new records were established:

(a) Gross railway revenue $16,266,163 was $999,372 more than the

record of $15,266,791 in 1965-66.

(b) Goods revenue $8,149,529 was $1,111,177 more than the record

of $7,038,352 in 1965-66.

895,066 in 1965-66.

لالا

(d) Number of live pigs by rail from China 1,031,858 was 18,358 more

than the record of 1,013,500 in 1965-66.

2. The goods traffic continued to show an upward trend (see Appen- dix XVII). Over 99% of it was imported goods from China. The imported tonnage was 1,039,941, an increase of 16.77% over the previous year. The export tonnage was only 2,617 an increase of 76.11%.

　　　　　　3. The continuity of the upward trend for total passenger traffic was for the first time slightly broken by the drop of 25.44% in the number of passengers to and from China as a result of the Cultural Revolution. (See Appendix XV). The total number of passengers carried this year was 9,473,899 as against 9,513,395 in the previous year, a drop of only 0.42%. The movement of passengers to and from China fluctuates un- predictably and the number carried was only 679,326 this year (see Appendix XIV). However, the local passenger traffic still continued to show an upward trend (see Appendix XVI). The total number of local passengers carried during the year was 8,744,254, an increase of 2.44%.

　　　　　4. A new passenger train timetable was introduced on 1st January, 1967 to improve the train punctuality on this single line railway, which had been badly affected by the need to run a larger number of special trains to cope with the sharp increase in goods traffic and the steady increase in local passenger traffic during recent years. The time of the last train leaving Kowloon Station has been extended to 10.30 p.m. on weekdays and 11.00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. This new timetable has proved very practical and satisfactory.

5. A new 1950/1800 H.P. model G16 diesel electric locomotive ordered from Clyde Engineering Co. Pty. Ltd., Australia, in May 1965 arrived on 15th June, 1966. This 9th locomotive was put into service on 26th June, 1966 to cope with the increased volume of goods traffic. With the arrival of this additional locomotive, the extremely tight schedule for maintenance of locomotives has been slightly eased.

　6. As it was generally felt that the name of Ma Liu Shui Station did not sound well in Chinese, the station was re-named University Station from 1st January, 1967 in view of the recent establishment of the Chinese University in the vicinity.

7. During the period from 26th November to 23rd December, 1966, the Chinese Section did not allow passengers from Hong Kong to enter the border town of Sham Chun without a valid certificate showing that they had been inoculated against cholera at least six days before.

8. His Excellency the Governor, Sir David TRENCH, K.C.M.G., M.C., visited the new railway station building at Lo Wu, the border station, on 18th June, 1966.

　9. All members of the staff worked well. In particular the very large volume of goods traffic caused considerable extra work to the operating staff at all stations. They are to be commended for the efficiency and willingness with which they carried out their extra duties.

TRAFFIC

10. Traffic earnings for the year under review amounted to $15,440,632 showing an increase of 6.53% over the previous year. Comparative figures are shown below:

1966-67 $15,440,632

1965-66 $14,493,751

Increase

$946,881 (6.53%)

11. Passenger Traffic. Local passenger journeys increased by 2.44% while non-local journeys decreased by 25.44%. The decrease is attributed to fewer Hong Kong people and visitors travelling to China as a result of disturbed conditions in China.

12. On Ching Ming Festival Day, 5th April, 1966, and Chung Yeung Festival Day, 22nd October, 1966, 26 and 24 special trains respectively, in addition to the daily normal service of 34 trains, were run to facilitate visits to the cemeteries at Wo Hop Shek and Sandy Ridge. On these two days, 82,501 and 75,332 passengers respectively (excluding season, monthly and scholar ticket holders) were carried.

　　　　　　13. On Dragon Boat Festival Day, 23rd June, 1966, 22 special trains in addition to the normal service were run to and from the New Terri- tories to transport spectators to the Dragon Boat Races held at Yuen Chow Tsai in Tai Po. On that day 54,968 passengers were carried to all stations.

　　　　　14. On 11th February, 1967, the Third Day in the First Moon of the lunar calendar, which was the peak for railway travel during the Chinese New Year period, a total of 80,941 passengers was carried to all stations.

15. On Mid-Autumn Festival Day, 29th September, 1966, 16 special trains for Tai Po Market and 2 special trains for Sha Tin were added to the normal daily train services for the picnickers in the New Territories. On that day 53,629 passengers were conveyed to all stations.

　　　　　16. The figures for passenger traffic, showing the number of journeys and the revenue, appear in Appendix IV.

　　　　　17. Goods Traffic. There was a large increase in goods traffic during the year. The increase over the previous year was 149,085 metric tons in weight and $1,111,177 in revenue representing percentage increases of 16.66 and 15.79 respectively. The increase in goods traffic was due to the increased amount of exports from China. The overall receipts on goods handling charges also increased by $150,717 or 11.05%-

22. Some 3,856 metric tons of mail and mail packets, compared with ome 5,400 metric tons in the preceding year, were conveyed by rail to China for the Post Office. This amount was distributed fairly evenly over he whole period under review.

23. Details relating to goods traffic appear in Appendix V.

24. Operation. Train punctuality for the year under review was not t all satisfactory for the first nine months due to the additional numbers f goods trains and other special trains which affected the timings of the assenger trains on a single line working. The timetable had to be revised o cope with the situation and considerable improvement was made after he introduction of the new timetable on 1st January, 1967.,

28. The Gross Operating Profit for the year was $6,234,386 represent- ing an increase of 2.41% as compared with the figure of $6,087,588 in the previous year. The Gross Operating Receipts from Goods Traffic increased by 15.79% from $7,038,352 to $8,149,529 and Passenger Traffic Receipts decreased by 2.20% from $7,455,399 to $7,291,103. The Nett Profit transferred to the Appropriation Account amounted to $3,618,173, a decrease of $54,935 (1.49%) over the previous year.

29. During the year, a new diesel electric locomotive was acquired at a capital cost of $1,308,424.86. Other major increases in Fixed Assets included $389,676.64 for the construction of an additional loop line at Lo Wu and $116,473.50 for the construction of new waiting shelters at Tai Po Kau and Tai Po Market Stations.

　　30. The asset 'Land and Formation' stands in the Balance Sheet at a book value of $8,228,391 only, a figure which is considerably below the current market value of the land held under private treaty grant for railway use. No charge for the use of land is borne by the Railway Accounts.

31. The Accounts and supporting data are published in Appendices I to V to this report.

MECHANICAL WORKSHOPS

32. All locomotives, rolling stock, electrical and mechanical equip- ment, machinery and plant were maintained to a good standard during the year. A new 1950/1800 H.P. diesel-electric locomotive No. 59 was put in service to cope with the increased volume of traffic.

33. Locomotives. Thirty-nine 5,000 mile inspections, thirty-one 10,000 mile inspections, seven 30,000 mile inspections, three 60,000 mile inspec- tions, two 240,000 mile inspections and two 480,000 mile inspections were performed on the nine diesel electric locomotives. The engine lower main bearings and their thrust collars of locomotives Nos. 53 and 55 were renewed. Locomotive No. 56 was fitted with rebored cylinder liners and oversized pistons. Eleven cylinder liners and 12 pistons of locomotive No. 57 and 11 cylinder liners and 10 pistons of locomotive No. 58 were renewed. New compression rings were fitted to locomotives Nos. 52, 53, 54 and 55. Eleven traction motors were overhauled. Owing to the contin- uous development of cracks on bogies, locomotives Nos. 51 and 54 had one bogie plate holding the motor suspension bracket refabricated with inch steel plate. The harmonic balancer of locomotive No. 55 was rebuilt with new spring packs.

屆

　　　　　34. The availability factor of the diesel electric locomotives was 86.11% compared with 87.23% of the previous year. The slight decrease was attributable to the heavier maintenance and repair work, causing locomo- tives to be withdrawn from service for longer periods. With the arrival of an additional locomotive, it was possible to implement a more effective programme of maintenance and repairs although adequate motive power had to be made available at all times to cope with the increased volume of traffic throughout the year.

35. The maintenance cost of the diesel electric locomotives rose from $0.443 to $0.513 per km. The rise was due to the increased labour wages and the higher expenditure incurred on the replacement of parts during the year.

　　　　　36. Carriages and Wagons. All carriages and wagons were maintained in an efficient state. In addition to routine maintenance and repair, the following rolling stock was overhauled and painted:

(a) Carriages Nos. 114, 116, 118, 204, 207, 211, 212, 307, 310, 314, 324, 325, 326, 327, 331, 332, 336, 339, 343, 344, 345, 346, 348 and 355.

(b) Thirty wagons of various types.

　　　　　37. The undermentioned carriages were given an intermediate inspec- tion and repairs which comprised the machining of wheel tyres, the re- conditioning of electrical equipment and running gears:

Carriages Nos. 109, 111, 201, 202, 208, 211, 213, 300, 304, 305, 309, 312, 315, 321, 322, 324, 330, 333, 334, 335, 337 and 349.

38. Fifty-one wagons, which were beyond economical repair, were disposed of by public auction during the year for $202,665.00.

39. Electrical Work. All electric lighting, power signals and other electrical equipment in the railway were maintained to a good standard. Additional mercury discharge lamps were installed at Sha Tin, Tai Po and Tai Po Market Stations to achieve general improvements to lighting. Fluorescent lights were installed in all platform shelters at Tai Po and Tai Po Market Stations. A public address system was installed at Sheung Shui Station.

　　　　Work done for other Government Departments. A large amount of work was done for other departments of Government. The important items were the manufacture of 212 iron castings, 17 phosphor bronze castings, 32 brass castings, 60 aluminium castings, 30 antimonial lead castings, 1 traffic pagoda, 5 traffic signs, 4 hot water cylinders, 1,080 metal joints, 16 steel runner guides, 4 impellers for air-conditioning plant, 10 steel shafts, 1 right-hand turnout and the repair of 298 items of hospital equipment.

41.

Statistics

(a) The average consumption of diesel oil was 3.45 kgs. per engine km. compared with 3.31 kgs. per engine km. for the previous year. The increase was attributable to the large increase in the number of ballast trains which inflated the fuel consumption due to the low mileage run.

(b) Statistical statements relating to the analysis of train and locomo- tive running, fuel oil running expenses, consumption of lubricants and cost of repair to locomotives, carriages and wagons will be found at Appendices VI to IX while classification of rolling stock are at Appendices X to XIII.

WAY AND STRUCTURES

　　42. Maintenance. Staff of the Way and Works Section were kept very busy maintaining way and structures in good order during the year. An additional burden of work was placed on the maintenance staff as the result of the rainstorms in June and the ill-effects caused by the cor- rosive discharge from the Chinese Section's Cold Storage Wagons on the permanent way and bridges.

　　　　　43. As in the previous year, corrosive discharge from the cold storage wagons of the Chinese Section was the main contributory factor which caused extensive damage to all the metallic components of the track, signalling systems and bridges. In addition to reduction in section of component parts due to corrosion, other conditions of the track were affected. Where the corrosive action was particularly severe, such as on the inner rail of a sharp curve, difficulty was experienced in maintaining the proper inclination of the rail. Rail creep, which had been very severe before 1951 and was later brought under control by the use of suitable rail anchors, increased considerably due to loss of effectiveness of the rail anchors resulting from corrosion. Measures taken to improve the situation created by the corrosive discharge were threefold: (a) Renewal or strengthening of all critically corroded track, signalling and structure components; (b) Continued discussions with the Chinese Section with a view to eliminating, or at least reducing, the amount of corrosive discharge from their cold storage wagons; and (c) Carrying out various tests with a view to finding some kind of effective protection for parts of way and structures which are subject to damage by the discharge. Although there were some improvements in the overall situation towards the end of the year under review, results of the discussions with the Chinese Section and tests carried out have not been entirely satisfactory and a permanent solution is still being sought.

　　　　44. Track. The following works were done during the year: (a) The main line track was maintained to a good standard. All fish- plates were carefully inspected and greased. Some 1,234 lengths of 95-lb. rails, 1,510 cubic yards of stone ballast and 15,236 timber sleepers were renewed during the year.

(b) Badly corroded track components were renewed wherever necessary. During the year, some 1,748 pairs of fishplates, 7,780 fishbolts and 53,130 dogspikes were replaced. Macbeth spikes were intro- duced and a total of 4,800 pieces was used to replace dogspikes in some main line curves.

(c) For the purpose of restoring the rails to their proper inclination, the rail seats on the sleepers of the main line curves at Miles 61, 9, 12 and 143 and on the loop line at Yau Ma Tei Station were adjusted by adzing. The gauge and superelevation of these curves were also adjusted.

(d) The expansion gaps of the rail joints in the main line track from south face to mid tunnel of Beacon Hill Tunnel, from Miles 83

to 9 and 193 to 214, were adjusted. A total of 7,958 rail anchors was used along the line.

(e) Twelve turnouts and two crossings were renewed at Yau Ma Tei, Sha Tin, University, Tai Po Kau, Tai Po Market, Fanling and Lo Wu Stations.

45.

　　　　Formation and Line Protection. The embankments and cuttings along the line were well maintained. All the mile, kilometre and gradient posts from Kowloon to Lo Wu Stations were overhauled and repainted.

46. Signalling. The gantries, brackets, arms of all signals along the line and the point indicators of all the points were overhauled and re- painted. Badly corroded component parts were renewed where necessary. 47. Tunnels. All tunnels were inspected and maintained in good order.

48. Bridges

(a) Major overhaul was done to steel Bridges Nos. 22, 34, 35 and 36. All badly corroded steel members were either renewed or strength- ened. In all, some 18,000 rivets were renewed. All the bridges were repainted and the top girder flanges of Bridges Nos. 22, 34, 35 and 36 were protected by 'Prestolith'.

(b) Minor repairs were done to Bridge No. 7. The bridge at Wo Hop Shek Siding, the footbridge at Tai Po Market Station, and Bridges Nos. 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 24, 27, 28, 29 and 30 were inspected and repainted.

49. Road Level Crossings

(a) The road level crossings at Mile 7 and 18 were widened preparatory to the widening of the motor road. All the decking timber, fasten- ings, sleepers and ballast were renewed.

(b) The railway tracks in the level crossings at Blackheads, Mile 131

and Sheung Shui Station were overhauled.

50. Station Yards and Platforms

(a) At Tai Po Kau, 1,900 sq. yards of the station platforms were re-surfaced with bituminous wearing course and 590 sq. yards with cement concrete. At Tai Po Market, about 2,100 sq. yards of the platforms were re-surfaced with cement concrete.

(b) At Wo Hop Shek, a foot path of 230 linear yards was constructed with cement concrete alongside the railway track for the conveni- ence of passengers during the Ching Ming and Chung Yeung Festivals.

(c) The timber seats on the platforms at Tai Po Kau and Fanling Stations were replaced by 21 and 64 terrazzo finished concrete benches respectively.

(d) The goods yard near No. 8 Road at Kowloon Station was extended

by 300 square yards.

　　　　　　51. Station Buildings. The station buildings at Yau Ma Tei, Sha Tin, University, Tai Po Kau, Tai Po Market, Fanling and Sheung Shui, the Power Signal Cabin at Kowloon Terminus, and the Railway Restaurant at Lo Wu were overhauled and re-decorated.

　　　　　52. Staff Quarters. Major overhauls and re-decoration works were done to the staff quarters at Yau Ma Tei, Sha Tin, Tai Po Market, Fanling and Lo Wu Stations and at Gills Cutting. The gate huts at Miles 7, 9, 131, 18 and 19 and the watchman huts at the north and south of Beacon Hill Tunnel were also overhauled.

53. New Works and Improvements

(a) Three new shelters with a total area of 350 square yards and four shelters with a total area of 470 square yards were constructed at Tai Po Kau and Tai Po Market Stations respectively.

(b) Some 17,377 cubic yards of earth were dumped along the embank- ment between Mile 51⁄2 and Mile 7 for widening the formation for accommodating the proposed double line to Sha Tin.`

(c) The formation at Lo Wu Station was widened for laying an addi- tional loop line. The works included 13,850 cubic yards of filling and 200 reinforced concrete sheet piles.

(d) To make way for the road complex at the junction of Princess Margaret/Chatham/Gascoigne Roads, new workshops are being constructed near Mile 83 to replace the existing ones at Hung Hom. The main line between Sha Tin and Mile 82 was diverted to a new track. The existing track will be used for vehicles to the new Workshops.

(e) Three frictional buffer stops were installed, one in the praya siding at Kowloon Terminus and two at the goods yard of Yau Ma Tei Station.

(ƒ) To improve the drainage system along the track near Mile 161, cement concrete channels totalling 190 linear yards in length were constructed.

54. Rainstorm Damage. The rainstorms in June caused considerable damage along the railway line. The following repairs were carried out: (a) At Tai Po Market Station: removal of earth and rock from the washout in the cutting amounting to 9,820 cubic yards; repairs to slopes by constructing 55 linear yards of retaining walls, 140 linear yards of toe walls, 5,700 square yards of rendering and 1,350 square yards of turfing; re-surfacing 540 square yards of platform and repairs to 150 linear yards of fence.
