STEAM AND SEMAPHORES ON JING PENG PASS

Video recorded in 2003 on the worlds last steam railroad. The Inner Mongolia railway opened in the 1990's with a fleet of QJ 2-10-2 hand-me-downs from the China Railway system. The line featured first rate civil engineering design, hand operated switches and semaphore signals and double-headers. This is video recorded by my friend John Pesarec on a trip we took with a group of friends to northern China. The weather was bitter cold and very windy. Originally recorded on a Sony mini-DV camera.

Oh wow! Memories, of my stay there and recording in December 1998. Thanks for this. Beautifully composed shots, and careful panning.
I could almost feel, once more, the day of negative 28 degrees Celsius.

Thanks for your comment. Yes the cold was bitter. I had come prepared to it and could stay out all day. Lunch in the field was noodle soup. Feasting and beer at night.

...And at the Reshui hotel, karaoke!
