Agree with you Turog! Unfortenly Sweden doesn't have any snow right now were I live... so here's one with frost only... But a very nice pic from you!! Tågab got some really nice trains.

Well, here's some new one from me. Shooted yesterday in Kopparberg (first two) and the thrid between Grängesberg and Ställhöjden/Ställdalen (former "TGOJ-banan").

Perhaps the modern Light Rail system is the least notable railway in Hong Kong. However, it is a vital part of the daily lives in three of the new towns. Also, the construction of the infrastructure were also contracted with Australian companies.

The 70 Phase 1 LRVs were manufactured by Commonwealth Engineering (Comeng) and entered service in 1988. Refurbishment of all 68 (excluding the 2 scrapped LRVs) were done between 2010 and 2013 by the United Group.

The 30 Phase 2 LRVs were manufactured by Kawasaki, Japan and entered service in 1992. Refurbishment is planned to begin in mid 2014.

The 22 Phase 4 LRVs were mainly produced in Nanjing, China and entered service between 2009 and 2011. Three of them were scrapped due to accidents. The advertisement is about a renewed shopping centre which mainly targets on local residents.

Although the Light Rail in Hong Kong is not the largest one in the world (with 68 stations), it may be the busiest and most crowded Light Rail system in the world. Here shows the scene inside a Light Rail train at 5:40AM (UTC+8).

The Light Rail is also one of the cheapest transportation in Hong Kong. A single-journey costs HK$3.6 - 6.5 (0.52 - 0.94 AUD) for adults while HK$1.8 - 3.3 (0.26 - 0.48 AUD) for students. A day-ticket of HK$24 (3.46 AUD) is also available. The Light Rail provides free transfer with the main railway line and some feeder buses.
