A few weeks ago the Hong Kong MTR took delivery of a brand new Unimat Compact 08-275/3S-16 ballast tamping machine. Loaded on a MAFI cargo trailer, the tamper was first unloaded from a ro-ro vehicle carrier at the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals.
Moved down onto the wharf.
And then transported to what appears to be MTR Siu Ho Wan Depot perway yard on Lantau Island for commissioning.
Footnote
The delivery date appears to be about a month ago, as pictured ro-ro vehicle carrier “Morning Celesta” last visited Hong Kong on 19 September 2024.
