The view from Princes Dock of the cranes on Bootle and Seaforth Docks further downstream the river Mersey, Liverpool. HFF & have a great weekend.

Fighting against the fierce gradient and the curvature JS 2-8-2 8167 pulls its load of side-tippler coal trucks out of the deep open cast pit at Sandaoling.

It's the early morning shift change at Dongbolizhan. With the sun slowly rising two Sandaoling Coal Railway JS 2-8-2s wait in the sidings. JS8167 on the left will propel its empty coal wagons back into the open cast coal mine while JS6205 is on the workman's train to Xibolizhan.

We arrived in Baiyin after our overnight train journey from Hami to Lanzhou and drive from Lanzhou in time to take some shots of the 15.15 workers passenger train from Baiyin to Shenbutong as it blasted up the valley behind SY 2-8-2 1581.

A classic front three-quarter shot as another load of coal is effortlessly drawn out of the open cast pit by JS 2-8-2 8173. The gradient can be appreciated from the level siding on the right and the actual depth of the pit from the cliffs.

Dwarfed by the size of the open cast pit JS 2--8-2 8167 pounds out of the mine with a full load of coal.

Catching the rising sun the 08.35am workers passenger train departs from the small platform at Dongbolizhan propelled by JS 2-8-2 8081.

On the Sandaoling Coal Railway JS 2-8-2 8366 heads for the eastern deep mines with a train of empties from Nanzhan against a backdrop of the snow-capped Tian Shan range.

The crew of JS 2-8-2 8366 look back to check if the crossing is clear at the eastern end of Nanzhan yard during a shunting move. Note the twin air horns on the cab roof.
