Some of the scenes on Steam in China parts 1 & 2 were uploaded to You Tube in 2009. Upload 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 2
Nancha was popular with rail enthusiasts because on the Wuylin branch both northbound and southbound trains had to negotiate a steep bank on the outskirts of town. Like Yebaishou, diesels were appearing here in increasing numbers. Diesel/steam combination double heading was quite common. North of Nancha, on the Wuylin branch was the Xilin zinc and lead mine using 720mm gauge C2 class 0-8-0 locos. The mine itself was served by antiquated overhead-wire electric locos.
