  • Thisdelightful little railway, in China's Sichuan Province, runs from the shops at Shibanxi to the mine at Huancunjing. Electrics serve the lower portion of the line from the washer to Shibanxi. Steam powers the coal trains, and passenger trains to the villages along the line. Sadly the mine closed, passenger trains were discontinues, and only the odd tourist train now runs. My still photographs mixed with video clips comprise this program.

    Even when they’re mucky and grimy, steam engines still have an unparalleled beauty

    Gorgeous photography - each still tells a story. I loved the rickety old engine with its equally rickety carriages. No new fangled stuff like continuous brakes. And the ash-pan dumping hot ash and coal between the rails. And the loco wheels locked up as the engine came to a halt - driver enjoying his ciggie.😄

    Proper working railway doing it’s job, moving it’s passengers, hasn’t spent billions on fancy stations, but it’s still going! I think some our politicians should learn from this.

      @@stephensmith799 I think there is a misunderstanding here. These are Soviet designed locos from the 1930s later built in Poland and China. Sure, some may have ended up in Finland and taken by the USSR post-WW2. But they are not originally Finnish. Most/all the Chinese examples were built in China anyway.

    You state that the passenger trains were "discontinued" (when you uploaded this video in 2021)
    But then, in 2022 someone else has a long video of it running..?
    Which I watched first about two hours ago (incidentally) - via:
    ruclips.net/video/dTwcnY0GJlY/видео.html
    Only finding your earlier video - as a suggestion much later...
    Thus which is it closed or running twice daily?

      When the video was uploaded has no relationship to when it was shot - 2010. The mine closed, the coal trains were obviously no longer running, and the passenger trains for the locals were discontinued . Tourist trains, as far as I know (for Chinese tourists) still run. I have no idea, not having watched it, when the other program was shot.
