Fast run round

Freight action on the Shibanxi Coal Railway. In the late afternoon C2 No.17 has brought up a short train comprising wagons containing sand, bricks and planks to the reversing point at Mifenyang. A local resident is more interested in the photographer than the steam action as the loco hurries around the train before shunting out the sand and bricks and taking the planks up to Caiziba before the last downhill train of the day arrives there from Bagu.
