	KCR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation is responsible for the network's operations, which is in turn fully owned by the Hong Kong Government.
		In December 1982 an ordinance was enacted, establishing the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) as a public corporation wholly owned by the Hong Kong government to operate and manage the KCR.
		Before rebranding "Kowloon-Canton Railway" referred to the rail link between Kowloon and Canton (now Guangzhou), or specifically the "British Section" of the railway, which largely corresponded to the present-day KCR East Rail.

	PB Network Issue 41 Designing the Electrical Backbone System for an Intelligent Building
		The Kowloon Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC), a major corporation with diversified operations, has experienced several years of expansion and modifications of the several railway systems it operates and maintains.
		KCRC wanted the headquarters building to be designed as an intelligent building, one that will be capable of handling its telecommunication needs for voice, data and other signals well into the future.
		To ensure smooth running of its organization, KCRC decided to build a new headquarters building and consolidate all of its staff into one location.

		This public corporation, operating on commercial principles, is one of the territory's two key rail transport operators.
		But the biggest challenges for the corporation - and especially its IT department - lie in the massive construction project embarked on by the KCRC in mid-1998 when tenders began to be let for the West Rail link.
		The corporation is also working to build three new extensions to East Rail, namely, the Ma On Shan Rail link, the Hung Hon to Tsim Sha Tsui extension, and the Sheung Shui to Lok Ma Chau spur line.

	The human factor in rail incidents
		In February 2004, the Executive Council, led by the then Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa, decided to invite the Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited (MTRC) and KCRC to commence negotiation on a possible merger, to be concluded by August 31, 2004.
		This was subsequent to the disclosure that KCRC failed to report to the Transport Department for nearly three weeks that there were cracks in the welding connecting some of its trains' bulky metal compressors that are commonly used in the braking system.
		All the time when we debate the pros and cons of the merger in public, and set various target deadlines for the deals, all we care about seem to be the figures, and the balance between the interest of MTRC shareholders against that of the public.
