Gongwusu Mining Railway.

Action was a little lacking on the two days of our visit to the Gongwusu Mining Railway. It was obvious that the system had seen greater days, with many now abandoned sections and a huge semi-derelict works. Rail traffic was being shared on a day about basis between an SY 2-8-2 and a larger JS 2-8-2.. During an enforced break due to a signalling fault, the latter waits to propel a train of empties under the loading point whilst two curious local lads observe the peculiar westerner hiding in the old PW hut with a camera.
