It's hard to believe that this photo was taken earlier this year and that such places still exist in the world where authentic industrial scenes can be recorded.
JS 2-8-2 8197 struggles to get her train of coal underway from the Xikeng loading facility.
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.
My two Js, 663 and 654, are all decked out with special birthday hats and lettering. The special lettering turned out good for being simply taped to the units. This is the first time I've decorated any of my HO scale units, and it won't be the last time, whether for people's burthdays or for holidays too.
Grab shot as JS 8167 backed its empty train.
A JS isn't exactly pretty, and the Sandaoling mine was't bothered about external appearance, but these were purposeful machines that did their job effectively. In fact, I prefer their looks to the SY 2-8-2.
The boiler looks long and thin but a lot of it is firebox. Note the pony truck wheels are smaller than those of the trailing truck. And that profusion of fittings and pipes; George Jackson Churchward (and his successors) would have been horrified.
Xinjiang province, China.
