Fo Tan station

Fo Tan (Chinese: 火炭; Cantonese Yale: Fó taan) is a station on the East Rail line of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong.

The passenger station serves some apartment buildings, villages, and a medium-sized industrial zone, as well as the Fo Tan Railway House [zh] of the MTRC.

Some trains do not run through this station on race days, and are instead diverted to stop at the Racecourse.

Fo Tan station opened on 15 February 1985, two years after the total electrification of the railway.

Freight trains stopped there regularly[1] before their demise on the East Rail line in 2010; the yard has since been used occasionally for rolling stock deliveries.
