- To the average west European eyes, Pingdingshan must have seemed like Dante's Inferno! However, to my north of England eyes, it was like taking a time machine straight back to Britain's industrial heartland of the 1950s and 60s. Wherever you looked, there were usually 2 or 3 steam locomotives to be seen. Here we see locomotives of classes SY, JS and QJ working the central sorting sidings outside the main loco depot. Filmed in 2003.
The place you recorded those trains is my childhood place. Of coz I'm still living there. But it's completely different, it's more advanced than b4. Everything is kind of automatically now. In 2003 I was a kid and I saw there were many foreigners holding a camera there. Maybe we've met at that time. seriously😂
You may have seen me! I remember PingDingShan was very dirty and smokey but I loved the place for the variety of steam that could be seen. I visited several times. I'm sure it's much cleaner now than it was 20 years ago - Andy

Incredible air pollution! I know that most of that mist is water steam, but not only. At 5:50 for instance, that black smoke is coal dust (soot), not steam.
Pingdingshan, like most other Chinese cities, was a terribly polluted place 15 years ago when this was filmed. However, it was an amazing place for steam enthusiasts. These days it only has diesel power in use ---- but it's just as polluted from the diesels, I'm afraid, even though it's not quite so easy to see. Andy
it's called industrialisation you moron. you think the West didn't do this.
@@jchristian8413 Why do you need to insult people? Don't you realize that, by doing so, you tell us a lot about yourself?
