Some of the scenes on Steam in China 1997 parts 1 & 2 were uploaded to YouTube in 2009, size restrictions at that time meant they were only a minute or two long. I have now re-uploaded those scenes together with extra material.
Part 1
Tangshan colliery.
Anshan steelworks. This massive and heavily polluted steelworks had a rare class PL2 class 2-6-2 and a fleet of SY class 2-8-2s. There was also a selection of steeple cab electric locos.
Yebaishou: Many QJ class 2-10-2 locos were still in action in the Yebaishou area on passenger and freight trains on the CNR main line in 1997. Spirited running by the QJs was often seen. But diesel traction had started to appear.
Pingzhuang mine, a rare KD6 class loco is briefly seen in action.
