Hong Kong Railway Museum

The museum occupies 6,500 square meters in a Chinese-style building with a pitched roof, displaying vintage trains and railway equipment in outdoor exhibits.

The former Tai Po Market Railway Station, constructed in 1913, transformed into a museum in 1985 after receiving monument status in 1984.

The exhibition halls present the evolution of Hong Kong's railway system through artifacts, train models, historical photographs, and original ticket offices.

Visitors can reach the museum by walking 10 minutes from Tai Po Market MTR Station Exit A2, with free admission from 10 AM to 6 PM.

The museum features Diesel Electric Engine No. 60, which operated from 1974 to 2021, carrying freight between Hong Kong and mainland China.
