K.C.R. TO LOWER TRACK FOR OVERHEAD POWER LINE

******

THE KOWLOON-CANTON RAILWAY (K.C.R.) WILL BE CARRYING OUT MAJOR TRACK WORK AT THE NORTHERN END OF THE HO MAN TIN GOODS YARD STARTING SUNDAY (SEPTEMBER 2).

THE WORK, WHICH INVOLVES LOWERING THE WESTERN TRACK BY ONE METRE, WILL TAKE THREE MONTHS TO COMPLETE.

A SPOKESMAN FOR K.C.R. SAID TODAY (THURSDAY): THE TRACK- LOWERING IS TO INCREASE THE HEIGHT OF THE 300-METRE-LONG TUNNEL BENEATH PRINCESS MARGARET ROAD SO THAT THERE IS ENOUGH CLEARANCE FOR THE OVERHEAD POWER LINE.+

HE SAID THAT SPECIAL APPROVAL HAD BEEN OBTAINED TO CARRY OUT SOME WORK AT NIGHT SO THAT THERE WOULD BE AS LITTLE INTERFERENCE AS POSSIBLE WITH NORMAL PASSENGER AND FREIGHT TRAFFIC.

+OBVIOUSLY, WE SHALL KEEP THIS DOWN TO THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM NECESSARY, HE ADDED.
