EMD G16: Difference between revisions

In Hong Kong there are four locomotives imported for the [[Kowloon-Canton Railway]]. They would later be used by the [[MTR Corporation]] upon the merger. The first three were built by EMD in the US, introduced in 1961 and numbered 56–58. The fourth was built by Clyde Engineering in Australia, introduced in 1966 and numbered 59. They were named ''I.B. Trevor'', ''Bobby Howes'', ''Gordon Graham'', and ''Gerry Forsgate'' respectively.<ref>Kowloon-Canton Railway ''[[Continental Railway Journal]]'' issue 99 October 1994 page 27</ref> All were equipped with 16-567C engines and Co-Co wheel arrangements. 59 suffered a collision and was rebuilt with a 16-645E engine. 57 retired in 2009 and was scrapped in late 2014, while 59 retired in 2018 after suffering serious damage from a collision with a [[EMD G26]] locomotive. As of 2022, all the remaining G16s have retired in Hong Kong; locomotive No. 56 ''I. B. Trevor'' is now on display in [[Hung Hom station]] since 2024 as part of the “Station Rail Voyage” exhibition.<ref>{{cite news |title=Retired train cars to be displayed in new Hung Hom station exhibition |url=https://www.thestandard.com.hk/breaking-news/section/4/215485/Retired-train-cars-to-be-displayed-in-new-Hung-Hom-station-exhibition |work=The Standard |date=18 April 2024 }}</ref>
