In the copper hills

SY1583 with the morning empties to the Kuangsan Copper Mine on the Baiyin Mining Railway. This train runs every day after the morning passenger service has returned from the mine. The exact timing is difficult to predict as it can appear at any time over about four hours. Luckily, on this day there was enough time to climb the hills overlooking the line, but not so much that I was standing in the cold for very long.
