Brilliant vid - Makes a change to see a vid that isnt shaking around all over the place ! A very well put together event. Thanks - look forward to the next ones.
steam engines do not always go slow. in fact locomotives in the united states in the lesser half of the 20th century routinely hauled freight and passengers at speeds over 100 mph. Also a typical large class steam loco is much more powerful than any diesel or electric loco even today. They just cost more to operate.
Chinese Steam can be sold to the US Railroads: Pan Am Railways. Iowa Interstate Railroad Alaska Railroad and more. Plus tourist railroads and museums in the US.
Kinda looks like Wheeling, West Virginia, especially with all of those Mikado locomotives running around... USATC S-200 design morphed into the SY class...
g bridgman Still looks like some of the Gary Works of US Steel if you substitute diesels for the steamers. Right now they're shutting down some of the furnaces for repair, others will be torn down(or so the local news says). But, steelmaking is changing and the companies that don't change also will end up being footnotes in history. On the one hand I don't miss all the stack gasses being blown our way but it saddens me to see the loss of good-paying jobs in the Gary/East Chicago area and the rise of crime spilling over from Chicago.
That's the key to it all: Good jobs. Workers made out real well with jobs in the steel, auto, railroad, and other manufacturing industries. today everyone's taking in laundry and turning out hamburgers. How are you supposed to maintain a standard of living on minimum wage at Wal-Mart when you used to work in a factory for $30-40/hour? A few at the top still make a killing while most suffer. It's a damn shame. I don't know what to say about the pollution thing. It's either that or minimum wage at a department store.
For people to have those good jobs, their prospective employers need to be making money... $30/hr in a steel mill isn't all that much in pay, but when the Chinese are making steel for 1 - 2 RMB per ton in profits, or even 100 RMB, your job is extinct... (Look up "zombie companies" in the Chinese steel industry especially) When the government takes more in taxes than a manufacturer can sell the product for - in the US & Europe, for example - in the UK for certain - you get a rust-belt where you *used* to have industry...
would be awesome to see them alongside the new High speed trains in Beijing as a final sendoff, if they are the same gauge of course. China is a land of huge differences.
I dont mean to be rude, but if this video is banned in Germany just because of the music, do you not think it would be benifical to get rid of the song? It only lasts 2:08 minutes, and the entire video is 14:35. Even more the sound track of this whole video is amazing, i think the song slightly ruins it. Great video none the less, it had me zoned in for 15 minutes nearly!
Some are built to go slowly, like heavy shunting engines. Some are fast, like Mallard at 126mph, or Blue Peter in 1994, who accidentally had a valve-gear-shattering 140MPH slip.
Great video. No ridiculous and unnecessary music added. I wonder if they were loading NZ West Coast coal into the loco tender?! China is the major buyer, and it's interesting to see the end use to which it is put. One thing that struck me in this clip; nobody seemed to be rushing around with frenetic haste. I know that the commodity being handled is unforgiving of mistakes, but the preconceived picture of China is that humanity is of secondary importance to production.
You cannot operate a steel mill in the USA without pollution controls, there were none on any of the operations that were shown. How many people are killed there annually?
Some time ago I saw a video of these western train watchers that went to China to record the trains there because they heard that China was still running and producing steam engines. In the provinces they recorded at the local police gave them a hard time, even though they had been given permission, because the local police thought they were spies because they couldn't believe that anyone would want to record trains.
Might have been U.S. Steel or Bethlehem years ago. All be can do not is take in laundry and turn out hamburgers. I gotta give these Chinese guys a lot of credit! It's awful what's happened to American industry!
And what i see here? old russian steam loco :) NICE :) the same we had in Lithuania till 70s :) the one wich was restored by us on my channel watch?v=2dYyAs9blV0
That workplace at 7:20 looks epic! Modern TFT computer monitor and real non-heritage steam locomotives in the background.
Brilliant vid - Makes a change to see a vid that isnt shaking around all over the place ! A very well put together event. Thanks - look forward to the next ones.
amazing a train buff dream...not only their not museum working trains their actual real working engines...gives you a taste of back in the day
I really enjoyed this video. A good mix of the trains and the industrial process.
Great video. Thanks for posting it up.
Awesome video - thanks for taking the time to put it together for us.

This is really terrific, what a great steam scene
Very impressive sir brilliant video all 5 of them thank you.

Awesome vid...wonder what the maintenance of the trains was like...
Enjoyed this video. Thank you
What a fabulous, hellish place !!
Thanks. It was the greatest railway and filming experience of my life! Sadly, the blast furnaces have been demolished and steam is long gone.
These trains are just shunting heavy, hot loads over short distances within a works. Speed is not important.
A very impressive movie. Thanks for sharing.
Great vid, thanks for sharing.
I watched this vid three times. Very fascinating.
Very interesting video, good camerawork, thanks for uploading
The actual last tour is Feb 2013. All but 1 QJ locomotive is still running. This will be the final year for steam engines in China.
Excellent video, thank
great footage
Some awesome scenery there.
Kinda looks like Wheeling, West Virginia, especially with all of those Mikado locomotives running around... USATC S-200 design morphed into the SY class...
Kinda looks great to me! Might be Lackawanna, NY or Gary, Indiana back when you had a decent economy in America.

Real nice scenario isn't it? Government puts us out of business!
No heritage railways as we know them in the UK, but some narrow gauge steam is now run as a tourist line.
I know china doesnt use QJs anymore but do they still use SYs?
Awesome video
Crazy to think Shinra is still operating at such a high capacity.
Most of these steelworks were built from plamts shipped from France and Begium in the 1990s
Such a fascinating place full of interesting sights sounds and smells 👍🏼
very great Video!
wish i could ride along one of these trains for a day and take pictures, so much stuff, so much going!
would be awesome to see them alongside the new High speed trains in Beijing as a final sendoff, if they are the same gauge of course. China is a land of huge differences.
good video,,i hope they save the locos,,
Awesome, if they only would have it like that in Europe still..

Would the plant sell any of their SY locomotives since they're not going to use them after a certain date?
Wounderful!
The music of heavy industry is enough, remove the music and you won't risk account suspension for copyright violation. Excellent video though.

Very Nice!
...Apprezzato!*****
I subscribe your channel.
Ciao!
What would it be like if they made a counterpart of Challenger or Big Boy? Does'nt China have enough coal or resources to even get those running?

so is steam done for?
This is absolutely amazing! Is it any wonder they're running circles around us these days?
Excepcional, parabéns por este vídeo profissional e bem interessante.
Da wird noch richtig gearbeitet..!!💪

Great video, would be better without music
I think i found 2 people wareing face protection..How manny Loungs are coffed...hackout???

If the Chinese knew how starved we are for real trains in this great United States, maybe then they'd understand.
how to get on official visit?
7:24 I would love to have an office window like that!
Hey it one of 142 sisters
very good
why do steam engines go so slow
капец, пейзаж один в один как в Мариуполе. И ковши такие же. Одно только что паровозы вместо тепловозов.
What song was that in the beginning

An EPA rep would lose his mind in this place.
why do you think american heavy manufacturing crumbled
hoorah ive heard true or not china is keeping its steam fleet i hope so because china is like me loves its steam iam a stournch steam supporter .
