Steam at Simajia
During a few days in Jiamusi in the north east of China I convinced myself I needed to do some linesiding and engaged the local CITS office to arrange something.
In hindsight it was not such a good idea. The weather was abysmal and the excursion expensive - even more so when I had to shout lunch for the small entourage of police and party officials that insisted on joining us. There were also better places I could have visited.
Anyway I saw three freights and three passenger trains in about 3 hours, including eastbound RM1175 on Train no.517 to Shuangyashan. The date not unsurprisingly was April 1st 1988.
