Sandaoling Xinjiang China

Sandaoling Xinjiang China
A new real working industrial steam line in 2014? Who would have thought?

At Xibolizhan JS 2-8-2 pulls a test train on the new single line from Shibanzi deep mine, seen in the distance, to Nanzhan for forward shipment to China Rail

It used to be logical in this country to use the fuel to hand - i.e. coal. The Chinese have a lot of it, so it probably makes economic sense to haul coal trains with coal-fired engines.

Very true Phil. Sadly even in China the diesels will take over when the output from Shibanzi reaches full scale.

Just answered my own question about whether you visited this line. Pity they are running tender first.

That's we thought after waiting 4 hours for it to come! Still with 20+ wagons even the empties being worked up smokebox-first make for a fair load heading out of Nanzhan.
