The paper describes very briefly the history of the system and gives the basic parameters and the philophies on which the engineering concepts were based. It covers the mechanical and electrical equipment, including choice of train dimensions and composition, method of power supply, train control system, environmental control and revenue collection. The HKMTR was probably the first railway to be described for high traffic in such a difficult environment. Comments on contract letting and control are given as the project was completed ahead of programme and within budget. Finally, some operating statistics of the first year's running in public service are given. (Wassmann)
