China has a big population, hence why there are so many carriages

horns on the steam engines

Very nice Action front Steem train nice looking

2 of them were saved.

These engines kinda remind me of the Katy's H-3 pacifics built by Alco and Lima. Especially because of the boxpok drivers, Walshaerts valve gear, and their fast speed. The H-3s on the Katy could do 70mph.

Отсталый китай😢

11:37 It's just absolutely bizzare seeing in some shots bicycles placed on the engines running board (assuming they are for the crews to ride home after the days work)

I wished that mainline railways in China still maintained steam trains. I wished that the JiTong Was not the last mainline railway to end steam.

I am re-visiting some of the NE China steam videos I recorded in 2011. here is a sample of what is on my channel: ruclips.net/video/vajQsUwo7yU/видео.html

LOUDER AIR HORN😂😂😂 17:38

Funny air horn's 😂😂😂😂😂 17:33

The railroad's badging, their company trademark, is cool.

How nostalgic! I have been there 30 years ago and took train from this station to LA

. I also have been there to take photos for four times in 1995-1996. It was fantastic. I still remember the powerful locomotives!

I am moved this! Some train ran over 100km/h!

Do Steam engines in China have horns? Cause I am hearing a lot of horns instead of whistles.

I"m sorry do steam trains in china have horns? Because I keep hearing horns instead of whistles!

Hi Thank you for recording precious moments about Chengde Steelwork Branch. I am a rail-fan in Chengde, China. I am very appreciated your work. Could I use this video as a part of my film of "Beijing-Chengde" Railway? I would enclose the original RUclips link while writing your name in my film. Best wishes, SkyUniverse

👍👍👍

Mr. Amberger, thank you for sharing this precious video, which was filmed in my hometown. I also have a strong attachment to the two-foot gauge rails, and I am sure this video will bring back memories of the good old days for many people. I sincerely request your permission to use this video for non-commercial purposes, and I will clearly credit you as the source of the video. Looking forward to your response.😊

Ron many thanks from an old expat who has lived in Colorado USA, for many years! I still remember my train spotting days, with my Ian Allen books in the UK. Thank you for these great pictures of the mighty QJ's at work. Definitely among the best I've seen, sorry you lost the friend that made the video's.

very big thankyou to you for going over to china capturing these superb little engines and putting these fantastic films up for all of us to enjoy very captivating and highly watchable so once again thankyou and regards

Even our own archives might have not recorded this kind of footage，thanks for sharing.

I’m kinda surprised those little 0-10-0s had British-esque single chime whistles instead of the standard 5 chime whistles.

...And at the Reshui hotel, karaoke!

4:51 He looks like YB

I love seeing 2-10-2s in action

Absolutely brilliant footage. Thank you so much for sharing

My channel has a number of Chinese steam videos: ruclips.net/video/qpEJmFjas9E/видео.html

Are there Chinese pacific left? Or were they all cut up

I HAVE TO ASK YOU "ronamberger": *SOOOOOOOOOOO NOW IN 2023 that the "little rice paddy little peasants" HAVE NOW EQUALED AND/OR SURPASSED YOU EUROS IN THE RAILWAYS............... AND HAVE BEYOND LEFT BEHIND THE MURCANS! LOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGG AGOOOO......* *WHAT ARE YOUR COMMENT NOW "ronamgerger"???????.....*

The difference between this 1988 and what you saw of China of China in 2018 is NOT that "miraculous" as you make out to be...... All one NEEDS to do is look at the impoverishment of South Korea in the middling 1960s and then look at South Korea in the late 1990s (despite the 1997 crisis) and you'll see that the 3 decade change in China is NOT that much different from the 3 decade change in South Korea. Of course what makes China stand out IS THE SCALE.

The single video with the greatest variety in Chinese traction. Funny how many of the steam locomotives are younger than a lot of the electric equipment. The fronts of those EMU's are clearly modelled to the cab fronts of the Fliegende Hamburger from Germany, also from the 1930s.

Nice clip. Thanks for sharing.Beautiful countryside with the snow.

The Chinese really seemed to love the Mikes and Sante Fe's. Would have been interesting to see what an Articulated would have looked like. 9:12 I dont think Ive ever seen any steam locomotives running this way ever before. What a shot!

Amazing footage preserved for us to enjoy! Love seeing these machines in actual use.

Good clip,thanks for sharing.

Love the bicycles stacked along the side of the loco, at 0.35 !

So cool to see these operating the way they were intended to be used. Why do they have the flat panels on either side? Thought at first they might be some type of condenser, but doesn't look that way from the close ups in this video.

I wonder how many, if any, of these engines are still around.

I think that the locomotive in 16:12 wasn't an ET6 class. I believe that it was an ET7 class tank engine,but it was rebuilt as a tender locomotive just like some other ET7s in Baotou Steel Work.

Promo SM

This video contains the only instance I have of a JF pulling a passenger train.

Horn sounds like diesel electric horn

I❤China 🇨🇳

Outstanding video! Really enjoyed watching the Mikes. You narration was excellent. Thank you for making it.
