Hauling Coal Across the Desert
A welcome contrast from Sandaoling open pit are the coal trains working the Erjing Colliery. In this scene, JS8358 heads across the bleak barren desert in the in the backdrop of the Tian Shan Mountains, hauling a coal train to Nanzhan from Erjing Colliery. The loaded wagons from Nanshan will be despatched to the national rail network at Liushuquan. Until 2011, these trains were hauled by two JS locomotives, one at the front and a banker at the rear, with up to 60 wagons. Sadly, they are now run by diesel locomotives.
