Lo Wu Railway Station, Hong Kong. View from Station Roof - looking south - of passengers getting off a train, heading back to Mainland China at Lunar New Year, 1981. Many are carrying presents for relatives, using bamboo yokes to balance their parcels. The diesel trains were phased out when the Kowloon-Canton Railway (HK section) was electrified in the early 1980s
