Gorgeous photography - each still tells a story. I loved the rickety old engine with its equally rickety carriages. No new fangled stuff like continuous brakes. And the ash-pan dumping hot ash and coal between the rails. And the loco wheels locked up as the engine came to a halt - driver enjoying his ciggie.😄
Beautiful scenery, wonderful little trains. We hava lotta differences in our 2 cultures, but it seems the more difficult a situation is, the more beauty is brought into focus.
Proper working railway doing it’s job, moving it’s passengers, hasn’t spent billions on fancy stations, but it’s still going! I think some our politicians should learn from this.
A very successful design of locomotive; originally Russian but adapted and improved in China. One is in North Wales being converted to 2” gauge. Not fast but very powerful Starting Tractive Effort. CORRECTION: please see next post below!
Originally from Finland. We had to give those locomotives to Russia after II WW + many ships, houses, machineries for papermills and other industry +,+,+,+. Those locomotives were made in city Tampere by Lokomo and Tampella.
@@stephensmith799 Originally 572 locomotives were made to Russia in Finland. But later on they made themself more and allso made many eastern European countries that were under Russian influence. Those 572 was a small part of the whole payment. All given ships put together would have been a 30 km long queue + maschineries with power plants for 30 factories +,+,+

@@stephensmith799 I think there is a misunderstanding here. These are Soviet designed locos from the 1930s later built in Poland and China. Sure, some may have ended up in Finland and taken by the USSR post-WW2. But they are not originally Finnish. Most/all the Chinese examples were built in China anyway.
You state that the passenger trains were "discontinued" (when you uploaded this video in 2021) But then, in 2022 someone else has a long video of it running..? Which I watched first about two hours ago (incidentally) - via: th-cam.com/video/dTwcnY0GJlY/w-d-xo.html Only finding your earlier video - as a suggestion much later... Thus which is it closed or running twice daily?
When the video was uploaded has no relationship to when it was shot - 2010. The mine closed, the coal trains were obviously no longer running, and the passenger trains for the locals were discontinued . Tourist trains, as far as I know (for Chinese tourists) still run. I have no idea, not having watched it, when the other program was shot.

Even when they’re mucky and grimy, steam engines still have an unparalleled beauty

Really awesome videography feels like being transported back to good old days. ❤️❤️
Great video and just love how life is over there, our country UK is so sterile now, this is like going back 60 years, and it looks awesome....!

I mean it's now closed.
I am assuming you live in the UK and don't like the idea of the highspeed rail that's being worked on.

This is what id imagine north korea looks like in all the rural parts of the country.
It looks like it’s a ghost train
Really enjoyed the videography seeing those old steam engines hauling the passenger coaches in between the fancy stations.Is it still running?
Где это место находится 9:45?

Looks like they are raking through the ashes looking for unburned lumps of coal.
Collecting Unburned coal

762mm according to wiki
