A stunning scene ! Just like fireworks! The JS steam locomotive ejecte fire and drive out of the mine pit. With the railway being dismantled in August 2022, such a scenario will no longer exist.
An empty train is backing down into the mine pit. The loading facility can be seen in the far distance. The flat ground next to the railroad used to be a massive rail yard.
A DF8B diesel-electric locomotive doing some yard job in the South Station, Sandaoling. These 4900 HP engines are what are going to take over after the legendary Sandaoling steams retire.
A fully loaded coal train is climbing out of the mine pit on a hot summer day. The beautiful Tian Shan can be seen in the far distance.
A coal train has just unloaded and is heading back down to the mine pit. As the rail in the pit has been torn down, this scene can be seen no more.
It is unfortunate that the Sandaolin Mine Railway has closed.
