The Class SY looks directly comparable to the Baldwin logging 2-8-2 tender models (e.g., California Western #45) in performance. Both SY's this vid had their reverse levers full aft, judging from the radius-rod angles - tricky throttle on the road engine, perhaps?
Very fine video - well done. I must say, give that when even two locos struggled to get the train underway again, who considered that one would do the job to start with ?!
Awesome! Must have been some of the loudest steam loco's around, they sound like an old diesel pile driving machine or black powder cannon. Luckily you wasn't off 2 or 3 minutes earlier, you would have missed this pure industrial steam action. Congratulations!
What is the intermittent "puffing" from the exhaust just behind the chimney? Sometimes it's even louder than the exhaust and gets quite irritating. A boiler feed pump? Surely they have injectors. Or possibly a compressed air pump for the brakes? Anyway, excellent video, so many thanks.
THAT IS THE COMPRESSED AIR PUMP FOR SURE! FOR SOME REASON THE CHINESE ROUT THE EXPENDED STEAM TO THE ATMOSPHERE, WHERE AS IN THE US IS OFTEN ROUTED THROUGH THE CYLINDER EXHAUST NOZZLE IN THE SMOKE BOX!
A steam loco when running in reverse, tend to lift the driving wheels , as a opposed to going the normal direction, in which case the driving wheels tend to dig in.. Perhaps the train loco , had run out of sand,as i see they have back up sanding pipes. Great video,!!!
Truly excellent camera work, no faffing no zooming, nicely composed and simple natural shooting. Thanks for sharing, if only all videos were like this instead of the usual pish seen on YT. 10/10 ps when is next trip in 2012??
Three possible scenarios:1/ The driver had the engine not in full gear: 2/ She didn't want to haul these wagons: 3/ She had hollow wheels. What place to live, 24 hours of steam going past. Pity it's in China. Nothing personal.
The loco driving wheels are slipping on damp rails while the loco is trying to haul a heavy load up a curved incline. The "barking" is the sound of the loco exhaust as the wheels race due to the slipping.
It's really great to see stuff like this. I guess this is what any industrial area in the US must've looked like 75 years ago (minus the nuclear cooling tower).
the engineer in the beginning needs to crack the throttle slowly, he's got that engine slipping badly. Add some sand or something. Slipping like that damages the engine lol ~Dusten
Chinese steam footplate crews were very skilled, only rarely did their charges get into trouble. When this happened it was usually a faulty loco or climatic conditions. In this case the rails were ice covered on a very tight curve with a maximum load. "Cracking the regulator slowly" would not be the solution. The locos all have working sanders. It is easy to criticise others when not on the spot to personally experience the conditions.
Chinese locos usually have working dry sand systems but the combination of a heavy load, a very sharp curve and slippery, probably icey rails was too much for one loco.
segun el video veo emanaciones de gases por la industria y el reactor nuclear .como va asi ; la contaminacion del planeta y el cambio climatico . La unica solucion para combatir la contaminacion es la forestacion de arboles pero en grandes cantidades ya que los arboles absorben y purifican el aire ya que eso lo que nadie tienen en cuenta de eso . Cuidemos la naturaleza porque es sustento humano .
Hate the Chinese musical 5th and 4th sounding horns. If just horns, those are good pitches to produce resultant pitches. Example: C-2 pitch with G-2 pitch (fifth) produces a C-1 resultant.
I am not a musician. I am a classical organist. I also tune pipe organs and years ago tuned a steam caliope (wearing earplugs and work gloves and thick coat because of hot "spit" from the pipes).Love steam locomotives. But hate the hollow 5th and 4th sounding horns and whistles. Amercan multi-tone whistles are by far the best. Except for Union Pacific with their boring two-tone "steamboat" whistles.

anonymusum what a daft comment. You know very little about railway operation. The slipping was caused by an excessive load being pulled up a steep, curved incline.
What a WONDERFUL view to have from one's bedroom window!!!!!
Very excellent videos, bring back lots of memories? The Industry background tower looks like the Fuxin Power plants station
Driver of the 2nd Loco seems more experienced in starting a loaded engine.
Excellent! Not only were you lucky to be there at the right time but also lucky with the sunshine! I love the industrial scene - with steam!

Also, as an after thought, coming up grade, on a curve, the flanges tend to bind against the outside rail, causing extra drag.
that is one hell of a duet
Amazing! Great video. Thanks for posting!
This is really STEAM locomotive, with a lot of Struggling.
I love to watch China's railway
Greetings from Norway
How much would the rent be for one of the appartments in those blocks behind the rails? ;-P
Very fine video - well done. I must say, give that when even two locos struggled to get the train underway again, who considered that one would do the job to start with ?!
That must be some heavy load! Thanks for showing the video!
I like the Fuxin series very much, lots of action on one tiny spot. Thanks for taking me there.
Awesome!

Reminds me of myself trying to wake up for work in the morning. ;)
Excellent sound, it seems that the old ladies were in mint condition!
You have to feel sorry for the driver. No way he's going to get that thing in motion!
I'll say this much. That train seemed fairly over loaded if the first guy had that much trouble.
A steam loco when running in reverse, tend to lift the driving wheels , as a opposed to going the normal direction, in which case the driving wheels tend to dig in.. Perhaps the train loco , had run out of sand,as i see they have back up sanding pipes. Great video,!!!
Superb Video - cant stop watching it - Thanks
It's hard to believe that in some of our lifetimes there were engines like these, thousands of them doing this work...
Terrific video - one of the best!
Truly excellent camera work, no faffing no zooming, nicely composed and simple natural shooting. Thanks for sharing, if only all videos were like this instead of the usual pish seen on YT.
10/10
ps when is next trip in 2012??
Great catch! Well done video!
You can tell both engines are the same by identical stack sounds for same speed.
Fantastic Industrial Steam display! Fav! Thank you for sharing! - Mike
Nice name bro
Either that, or the first loco has some mechanical problem... perhaps a sticky throttle thingie that makes it difficult to make smooth adjustments...?
ziiofswe just a load to big to be handled on its own.
Wonderful - great shots
Is it just me or would anyone else love to have seen them use a British Rail Standard 9 on these trains just as a joke 😂
Another great Chinese steam video!
The cooling towers are not nuclear but for the coal fired power plant, using coal delivered by the steam locos.
Excellent!
wonderful ! Thank You
Three possible scenarios:1/ The driver had the engine not in full gear: 2/ She didn't want to haul these wagons: 3/ She had hollow wheels. What place to live, 24 hours of steam going past. Pity it's in China. Nothing personal.
Very nice...ceers Steve..
Wonderful, truely Wonderful.
Any chance of these steams running in 2018?
Sorry the answer is no.
So what is wrong with engine ,?its like it totally lost power.HORRIFIC NOISE FOR THE NEIGHBOURS.
What a HELL HOLE TO LIVE IN.
Yes, a few of them
Problems:
Slight Grade,/ curve; overloaded train; blocked brakes on one car; Engine in Reverse; run outof Sand,
Any and all of these!!!
Doc AV
Heavy load (but the permitted maximum), steep grade, curved track and icy rails, the temperature was well below zero centigrade.
Indrukwekkend ! Een stoomlok met een typhoon i.p.v. een fluit, ook dat is opmerkelijk.
I love how the first steamer is "barking " anyone know why the locomotive is doing such?
The loco driving wheels are slipping on damp rails while the loco is trying to haul a heavy load up a curved incline. The "barking" is the sound of the loco exhaust as the wheels race due to the slipping.
i feel sorry for the bloody fireman, he cant have much of a fire left after spinning that much...
Excellent
They did a Fuxin good job!
It's really great to see stuff like this. I guess this is what any industrial area in the US must've looked like 75 years ago (minus the nuclear cooling tower).
Wow! They really belch!
Nice video!

Very interesting.
love it I see that all of the other people do too :-D
is that a nuclear power plant in the back ground ?
It is not nuclear power plant but coal fired. Much of the locally mined coal transported by the mine railway ends up there.
gary mathews yes.... Chinese has nuclear.
it is NOT a nuclear power plant. It is coal fired.
I wish we still had steam in america, that shit is so much better than diesel pukes....atlest these are cool to watch.
love it
First one probably ran out of sand.
Well at least 2 places still use Steam locomotives & that is China & Cuba
greattt !
Sand?
Chinese locos usually have working dry sand systems but the combination of a heavy load, a very sharp curve and slippery, probably icey rails was too much for one loco.
Drama i the workaday world. :_)

If you look at other replies you will see it is not a nuclear power plant

You must be a musician! Sit back and enjoy the never to be repeated experience of a steam loco in trouble being rescued
by another.

Obviously it´s very cheap Chinese steam. That´s why ...

It was a joke!
