Dumping Mine Waste
The Wulong dump, which forms a prominent hill in the south-west of Fuxin city, is the product of underground waste and fly ash that has built up over decades of coal mining. In this scene, SY1320 discharges mine spoil from Wulong Colliery. The mine remained operational until August 2016, when it ceased production due to bankruptcy. Sadly, this resulted in the immediate cessation of the steam operation at Fuxin. That said, I have to say that the damage to the environment from coal mining in Fuxin has been staggering and many men have lost their lives in the collieries, the worst at Sunjiawan with at least 214 fatalities in 2005.
