Autumn on the Jitong Railway and QJs 6905 and 7040 are on the second level of the looping climb above Reshui on the Jinpeng section of the line. The line will soon pass through a curving tunnel to emerge directly behind and almost level with me. The line can be seen approaching Reshui and crossing the river on a long viaduct before swinging away along the first level.

The later days of steam on the Jinpeng section of the Jitong Railway. QJ 6905 crosses the main road above Reshui on the westbound climb towards Jinpeng.

On the Jinpeng section of the Jitong Railway the climb for westbound trains after passing Reshui comprised a series of big curves looping the line back and forward as it gained height. This train has already passed along the tracks in the background and will soon pass through a curving tunnel and reappear behind me going in the opposite direction on level 3. I have recently read that rail traffic is so great that there are plans to replace this entire section with a deviation incorporating much tunnelling.
