This is from back in the day when there was plenty of activity down in the open cast pit at Fuxin. But the bucket shovels were searching for seams of coal that were already running out.
I detect there is a narrow gauge electric line at the top of the picture. I guess that’s the track running to the depot on the south side of the pit, but how did it fit in with the grand scheme of things.
The big electric loco was bringing the coal up to the rim for use in the local power station.

I need some colours in my stream. Photo taken August 2015.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to view, comment, and fave my photo.
The Batten Kill is a truly a time warp, and if you're lucky enough to spend anytime along the line when they are operating you will feel like you have been transported back a half century or more.
Here is one such example. No ditch lights, ptc antennas, high viz vests or any other signatures of modern railroading are visible. Here is an Alco RS3 blt. in Sept 1952 on home rails paused beside a 1909 built ex Delaware and Hudson passenger station. This is MP A136.9 on the old D&H Washington Branch and BKRR 4116 has paused just north of the Main Street crossing so engineer and railroad president and owner Bill Taber seen here could get down with shovel in hand to help clear some ice and snow before pushing through a four foot high berm as he and his hardy little crew work to open the railroad after the epic three feet of snow that was dumped on Washington County and much of the northeast.

We were digging ourselves out before the sun came up. Stu will get the snowblower out later and finish the front.
After yet another lake effect snow streamer settled over us last night, digging out has become a daily requirement. This view is looking out the back of our house down the street just as dawn was breaking. There hasn't been a snowplow here for several days now - they're too busy trying to keep up with clearing the main thoroughfares. When they do finally get here it's going to leave quite a pile of snow at the end of the driveway. Many of the county roads are closed altogether.
Not normally the side of Bozeman Hill that the helpers are used to digging in on, this helper set is nevertheless attacking the west slope of Bozeman with gusto as they roll through West End with the Logan Local in tow. Just behind me is Bozeman Tunnel and the crest of the hill. Fun fact, the wooden wall just visible between the pine trees is home to number of Grizzly Bears, a neat to place to visit when in the area.
The bee is going for all she's got to get to that sweet nectar at the bottom of this petunia getting covered in pollen.
Ugh. I am sick. I have taken lots of pills but none of them are working. Speaking of work -- it's all craps and fans there... loving that. I should be resting but I'm e-mailing and calling and ftping and editing and paperworking and UGH. HBW.
Oh and if anyone knows what this tree is please do let me know. It smells so lovely and has the most beautiful blossoms well into September now.
Figured it out -- it's a Clarodendron or Harlequin Glorybower.

This is a photo my son in Utah, USA, sent me yesterday. They're on their 5th day of snow. He's a Californian
by birth and doesn't take kindly to shoveling snow.
We're rejoicing here because we got our first measurable rain since last Feb. over the last three days. Several inches which is how we measure. Oh happy day! I've loved being a couch potato with no guilt for not getting Benni out. It's sunny now so I'd better get going.
