Tai Po Kau Station (Chinese: 大埔滘車站), located in Tai Po Kau in the New Territories, was a railway station on the British section of Kowloon-Canton Railway in Hong Kong. Close to Tai Po Hoi, a pier serving northeast New Territories was built near the station made Tai Po Kau a transport hub.
The station was a traditional Chinese architecture.
As roads and public transport was improved in the area and as the depopulation of remote villages, the importance of the station and the pier declined quickly. The station was abandoned when the railway was electrified in 1980s.
In 1990s, the station structure was removed and replaced with staff quarters of KCR Corporation.
Famous quotes containing the word station:
“With boys you always know where you stand. Right in the path of a hurricane. It’s all there. The fruit flies hovering over their waste can, the hamster trying to escape to cleaner air, the bedrooms decorated in Early Bus Station Restroom.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
