Between 17 - 23 August 1923 a strong typhoon hit Hong Kong. Reclamation works, then in progress for the Kai Tak Land Investment Co. at Kowloon Bay, were hit by strong winds demolishing most of the temporary structures. Steam locomotives used on a temporary railway were buried under piles of debris. Is unlikely that the engines were seriously damaged and almost certainly lived to see another day in full steam.
