Industrial Steam
Against an impressive industrial backdrop, two SY class locos prepare to leave the concrete canyons of the Wulong deep mine in Fuxin.
The train on the left has spoil for tipping into the nearby open cast mine, a seemingly futile process given the sheer size of the hole they were trying to fill. On the right could be a train with loaded coal for the city’s power station.
Wulong mine has since closed completely, and I read that the open cast pit has been turned into some sort of off-road motor racing venue. Nothing stays the same in China.
