Another empty backs through the crossovers at Kangkongzhang on it's way down to the pit.
Sandaoling China
The driver of Chinese JS 8190 thins the lubricating oil for his 2-8-0. The sub zero temperatures in the Sandouling area of North West China were turning the oil into a grease which had to be thinned before it could be used to top up the oil wells of this fine locomotive.
This is a scene which is now confined to the history books as I am informed the use of these steam locos has ceased.
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feedback very much
