A westbound freight headed by QJ 7010 and another on the Jitong Railway between Chabuga and Lindong. Finding this one on the hard drive reminded me of a happy trip around north-east China in April 2005. Steam only lasted a few more months after this on the Jitong line.

QJ 6112 runs light engine towards Huan He junction on the line from Fushun. In the background one of the early manifestations of China's massive roadbuilding programme takes shape.

A shot from the archives and a sunny Sunday afternoon at Huan He Junction outside Shenyang. There were so many trains going in so many different directions and all were steam hauled. Yet another QJ hauls a long freight across the level crossing as it swings towards the main line towards Shenyang.

There were so many trains that Sunday afternoon at Huan He Junction outside Shenyang, that I became a bit blasé and started looking at different angles rather than playing safe. I don't normally shoot this tight outside but the sun in the background probably forced me into working this way as QJ 1876 heads towards the city with a freight from the direction of Anshan. I wish I could go back there with a DSLR and have the same trains to shoot.
