FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1976
+WHEN THE TWO NEW TEMPORARY TERMINALS ARE OPENED
THE
NUMBER OF WAGONS THAT WILL BE ABLE TO BE UNLOADED WILL INCREASE BY ABOUT 100 PER CENT, HE SAID.
+PRIOR TO THE DISRUPTION OF NORMAL TRAIN SERVICE, ABOUT 140 WAGONS A DAY WERE UNLOADED IN KOWLOON.
+AT THE MOMENT WE ARE GIVING UNLOADING PRIORITY TO PERISHABLE FOOD SUCH AS CATTLE, PIGS, VEGETABLES AND POULTRY. THE PRESENT POSITION OF LIVESTOCK REACHING THEIR DESTINATIONS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TOO BAD.+
MEANWHILE, MR. GREGORY POINTED OUT, THE DEMOLITION OF THE OLD BRIDGE HAD BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED AND TWO PILING RIGS HAD COMMENCED PILING WORKS.
APART FROM PILING, THE GENERAL MANAGER ADDED, FABRICATION OF THE SECTIONS FOR THE NEW BRIDGE WAS ALSO PROCEEDING SMOOTHLY.
+WE ARE NOT WASTING ANY TIME ON THIS AND WE HOPE TO COMPLETE THE NEW BRIDGE BY EARLY NEXT MONTH, HE SAID.
