Ten years ago I uploaded to YouTube a few short videos shot in China in November 2000. I have re-edited the video and up loaded with longer sequences and material missing from previous uploads. I make no apologies for a few extended sequences. We will never again be able to see and hear steam locomotives hard at work like this. Turn the volume up, sit back and enjoy never to be repeated action.
