SY 1118 works back from the dirt tips towards the Pinggang Colliery on the Lishu system of the Jixi Coal Railway. What is not apparent is that the temperature was around -20C plus the wind chill factor. This was not a comfortable place to be standing around for a long time.

At the distinctive pink and blue Pingang mine on the Lishu system SY 1118 shunts from under the bunkers with a long train. Loaded trains run downhill from Pingang on this line apart from the first few hundred metres which climb from the bunkers past the traffic office seen here on the right. It was as cold as it looks with a wicked wind all the way from Siberia.

A small coal mine at Qikeng a few kilometres outside Jixi. The two concrete arches mark the drift entrances with one haulage enginehouse seen through the yellow gantry crane. There is also another electric hauler for tubs lower right of frame. This mine was closed in early 2008 but was still in full production when I visited.

This colliery was connected to the Lishu system of the Jixi Coal Railways. At this time one or two trains a day were loading under the bunkers where the blue lorry stands but since then the mine has closed and the tracks have been lifted.
