Mountain Backdrop

In the backdrop of the magnificent snow-capped Tianshan mountains, 2-10-2 JS Class locomotive, 8366, makes its way south across the flat spartan landscape on the fringes of the Gobi Desert, with a rake of loaded coal wagons from the Er Jing underground coal mine to Nanzhan, Sandaoling Xinjiang Province, northwest China. We were very lucky to have such clear weather for the shot.
