Taiping Mine

Another industrial line that has now seen the end of steam operations is the Lishu section of the Jixi Coal Railway. In happier times a train is seen being loaded at the Taiping Mine. It is standing on what was, until a couple of years earlier, the branch up to Sijing Cokeworks and Qikeng Colliery. The men standing in the wagons are levelling the load with shovels.
