In celebration of its 45th anniversary, the MTR has unveiled a replica of the "White Head" train that first operated in Hong Kong in 1979. The train consists of eight carriages, and its interior has been refurbished to feature elements from its first-generation predecessors, such as the spherical handrails, as well as the orange-yellow ceiling and warm-toned nostalgic lighting.
