A brand
new programme - released to accompany the launch of our latest
book on China - features steam lines that have survived into
the new century. There's over 90 minutes of the latest action
here, all beautifully photographed including many scenes
filmed in 2003.
TIEFA - a marvellous industrial system with plenty of
passenger and heavy coal trains - including double headed SYs.
HEGANG - despite the pit and surrounding lines being
electrified this little visited system has some real surprises
with SYs working plenty of passenger services.
TONGCHUAN - a real rarity, operated by JFs, the oldest
working locos in China work to Wangshiwa colliery.
YUNBAOSHAN - a busy colliery system that includes
plenty of coal plus a regular mixed freight and passenger
service all worked by JSs.
JI-TONG - the last great steam line in the world! This
time featuring action away from the famous Jingpeng pass when
we visit Chabuga shed and take time to explore the areas
around Lindong and Chabuga for scenic lineside action.
