Leaving Yuzhou

The Pingdingshan area of Henan can be murky and gloomy at the best of times, but this particular January day was especially bad. At just after 11am QJ 6650 is seen departing the station area at Yuzhou close to the end of the long branch from Pingdingshan operated by the Yuzhou Mining Administration. The line was run using a fleet of deflectorless QJs and the only problem for the photographer was finding a train actually moving as traffic was a little sparse and unpredictable.
