An early morning lineside walk just north of Taiyuan station and this Chinese Railways JS 2-8-2 number 6101 forged past us with a southbound freight train. I was on a Railway Transport & Photography China trip and tour leader Lou Johnson is seen on the right taking the same shot.

Not a lot of motorised transport in view on this road in Datong 40 years ago. HFF to everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Double-headed QJ 2-10-2s head a freight train out of Datong shortly before the end of steam at this location after which all freight was electric hauled. I joined a group of enthusiasts for a 3 week trip to China to see steam throughout the country.
