【30秒在香港鐵路博物館】

這是一個有百載回憶的舊車站。
坐在舊車廂的木製座椅上，看着鐵路博物館展出的退役火車頭和歷史車卡，窗外涼風吹進衣襟，列車雖沒行駛，卻感受到鐵路發展的進程。
鐵路博物館新增藏品60 號柴油電動機車 - 「喬沛德號」，於 1974年起投入服務，是九廣鐵路最後一批引入的柴油機車之一，也是香港最後一部以人名命名的柴油機車。隨着 1983 年九廣鐵路全面電氣化，舊大埔墟火車站隨之停用，60號機車亦退出載客行列，但仍用作牽引貨卡及維修車卡，直至2021年正式退役。
回味過昔日鐵路的足跡，步出已成法定古蹟的舊車站大樓，走進大埔墟社區，百年歷史的餘韻仍未退散。

【30 seconds at Hong Kong Railway Museum】
This is an old railway station with a century of memories.
Sitting on the wooden seats in the old coach, gazing at the retired locomotives and historical coaches displayed in the Hong Kong Railway Museum, a cool breeze is blowing through the windows. The train is not moving forward anymore, but you can delve into the history of Hong Kong railways.
The Hong Kong Railway Museum's new exhibit, "Diesel Electric Engine No. 60 - Peter Quick", was put into service in 1974. It was one of the last fleet of diesel electric engines introduced to Hong Kong for the Kowloon-Canton Railway and the last locomotive named after a person in Hong Kong. Following the full electrification of the Kowloon-Canton Railway in 1983, the old Tai Po Market Station ceased operation. No. 60 was withdrawn from passenger services and switched to hauling freight and maintenance trains until retirement in 2021.
After reminiscing traces of the old railway, you step out of the old station building, now a declared monument, returning to the Tai Po Market community, the charm of the century-old railway station still lingers.
Venue: Hong Kong Railway Museum (13 Shung Tak Street, Tai Po Market, Tai Po)
