QJs 7040 and 6905 head west through the loop at Liudigou on the Jinpeng section of the Jinpeng line. The weather was so warm that there was no steam exhaust showing and it was fortuitous that the front locomotive was fired at this moment.

QJs 7040 and 6905 don't slack off at all as they enter the loop at Liudigou whilst climbing the Jinpeng section of the Jitong line with a train of oil tanks.It was the week that the first diesels appeared on this section and within months steam was gone completely from regular service over Jinpeng. It won't be long before trains are gone from this part of the line as there are plans to build a tunnel to increase line capacity, such is the level of traffic these days.

Double heading QJs thunder into the loop at Liudigou on the westbound climb of the Jinpeng pass. They are running through wrong line due to track repairs just behind where I was standing. It's still a bit worrying looking through the viewfinder and seeing 3000+ tonnes heading right for you just before it swings off to the right.
