Preserved diesel-electric locomotive KCR 51 at Hong Kong Railway Museum
(old Tai Po Market station). Made in Australia in 1955 as Hong Kong's
first diesel-electric locomotive and officially christened "Sir Alexander"
after the governor of the era, it pulled passenger trains until 1983 when
the line was electrified, then was moved to shunting, maintenance and
freight until it went out of service in 1997.
