Shenyang China 23rd October 1983

Shenyang China 23rd October 1983
A railwayman cycles with his child past a row of China Railways locomotives in the yard at Shenyang loco shed.

Streamlined SL7 4-6-2 751 was constructed by Kawasaki in 1934 for the South Manchuria Railway and was operated for the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Pre-war, SL7s pulled the Asia Express & trains reached a top speed of 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph).

The other engines are QJ 2-10-2s.

Good to see another type of 1930s streamliner.

Great picture. It is apparent that you know a lot about trains and railways. This one actually shows more means of transport. I believe the Shenyang must be centuries away from riding bicycles now, and I am wondering if you'd be able to track the child's identity...
