      What terrible looking locos with tiny wheels. I think I'm correct in saying this has now all been cut up for scrap and recycled.

    Yeah, last I heard there were still 1,000 steam locos at work in China, but I don't know what year that was, it might not be accurate

    Quite far from the Myanmar border actually. The climate is more or less similar to the one in the mediterranean area. They grow tangerines, oranges and tea. When I was there, rapeseed was blooming.

    Not an easy answer, but in my opinion it is still worth going to places like Sandaoling or Fuxin. For narrow gauge, consider Rongshan, but this is not necessarily an easy place to go.

    Fun facts:The official name of the Shibanxi Railway is ‘Jiayang Coal Railway’.

    • @KochersbergTV
      @KochersbergTV  5 років тому

      Indeed. It has been a while since they have not carried any coal, at least on the upper part of the line. Actually this video is one of the last opportunities to see the regular transportation of coal on the line.

    It is like time-travel into 20th century. But there are no semafore signals.

    • @KochersbergTV
      @KochersbergTV  4 роки тому

      Signaling is very rudimentary and using "road" red and green signals in the only station where train crossing is possible.

    @1:25 - not a good time or place to have the washing out! @7:00 - such tiny driving wheels, was there a specific reason for that?

    • @farmerphil
      @farmerphil 8 років тому +3

      +hughvane The smaller the drivers the more power and torque, you sacrifice speed but in this case tonnage hauled is the goal. The same as low gear in a manual trans or look at most farm tractors and there gearing.

      Yes, the new name of this railway is Jiayang Little Train, near Le Shan city in Sichuan province (PRC). My video is about this railway, when it was still carrying the local people and coal, not just tourists. Thank you for updating me about this interesting railway.

      Yes, but no longer for coal trains. A few very uncomfortable trains for local passengers and a few more comfortable trains for tourists every day.
