Sandaoling Xinjiang China 16th November 2014

Sandaoling Xinjiang China 16th November 2014
Ex-Chinese Railways JS 2-8-2 8173 curves out of the open cast pit at Sandaoling with its 13 wagon train of coal.

I learnt recently that the last great steam show in the world is no more and all the coal from the pit is now transported to the washeries by truck.

The end of an era

The age of stem was so romantic even in areas like this. This locomotive is belching out a lot of steam.
