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.
+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.
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.
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.
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.
Another great trainvideo from you.
Really fantastic to see a railway like this in 2019.
Thanks to you.
Great impression of this narrow gauge line. Many thanks!
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.
@@PreservationEnthusiast this is only your opinion.
@@_dampfwolke True, but I think many would agree with me that aesthetics of this loco are terrible.
Thanks for this video.......it is beautiful and interesting hilly place.....and steam engines........love it.
fantastic insight into A china of the pass, but still today. Rural and industrial all in one...

0:38 take a D51 engine and connected it with a C56 locomotive tender
在没看你的视频之前我还真不知道中国还有这么多还在运行的蒸汽机车，谢谢你的视频，拍的不错！
@preben hansen S,B
Great shots!
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
Excellent video, thanks for posting
Brilliant video! Does the tourist train still run?
sure,its still working to attract travelers from all over the world
The Ffestiniog Railway is restoring a Narrow gauge locomotive in Great Britain
@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?

These are spectacular videos! How much mainline steam exists in total? Still worth it to go to China to see steam?
as i know ,working for commercial purpose,this is the only one exist in china
Excellent coverage

So amazing.
Excellent!
Fun facts:The official name of the Shibanxi Railway is ‘Jiayang Coal Railway’.
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.
Signaling is very rudimentary and using "road" red and green signals in the only station where train crossing is possible.
Briliant Video, I really like it!! :-)
Good 👍
were you on board? how much per ride?
60CNY now
Nice video
Lovely!
Is it still being used today?
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.
When did you shot this video?
cricky chucking bit of coal off.... would remind my parents of the early 1930;s in the UK
