Town crossing

Yaojie is in a remote location west of Lanzhou and the railway from the main line has to thread its way along the side of a deep gorge. In the town there are a couple of branches up to the local coal mines which cross a number of the local thoroughfares on the level. SY 0527 pushes up to Mine 3 and holds up a few shoppers. In the foreground breakfast dumplings are steaming on a stove outside a shop.
