Leaving Daban

Daban was the location of a major locomotive depot and the workshops for the Jitong Railway. Locomotives were changed here and a fresh pair of QJs is departing the yard heading east. This was a bitterly cold day with a biting wind which is taking the exhaust southwards. Whilst waiting for this departure we were approached by a man on a motorbike who offered to sell us the brass injector that was strapped to the seat. It had not occurred to him that it was both bulky and very heavy and not something you can take on a plane home as hand luggage.
