The three bridges

Less than optimal conditions for photography but possibly the last ever steam hauled train from the interchange at Haishiwan to the mines at Yaojie. Diesels had arrived and were to take over for subsequent traffic. Heavy snow had disrupted the supply of empty wagons to the collieries and consequently only one was available this day. We waited in the foggy gloom for a long time before the train appeared on the bridge over a tributary of the Yellow River. Behind are a road bridge and the bridge carrying the main line.
