Nancha

In 1992 one of the more spectacular steam locations was the steep climb up both sides of the bank at Nancha on the branch to Wuyiling. A regular procession of trains loaded with timber would slowly ascend from Liushu with two QJs at the front and another banking. In this case the train set off before I had reached the desired photo spot and it developed into a race to get in position in time. I had to run across a wide boggy area and my companion fell into the mire but still got his shot. The sight and sound was awesome.
