「芭石鉄道(鉄路)」の名で知られる中国四川省のナローゲージ・嘉阳小火车です。 小さな蒸気機関車(C2)が今も使われています。 [China Steam Locomotive Train] This is Shibanxi Railway in China Sichuan . 20th.March.2010
I see lots of farm tractors in the USA in that condition. They may look like a rust bucket, but the oil gets changed regularly, every fitting gets greased, and the owners have gotten the capital cost of the tractor back many, many times over.
I've been watching a lot of train videos over the last year with my son (just turned two years old). Yours are some of the best and most interesting videos I've seen. Thanks!
Be nice to see it shipped to Japan for a working retirement - especially after coming out of a JR workshop - the difference would be almost unbelievable.
Very good video, a dream for me really! i like narrow gauge steam locomotiven! i seen the last 141R SNCF ( french steam ) in 1970, and i remember it anytime i see steam lock on youtube! i seen also dampflock of Alsdorf and Siersdorf and Reden in Germany! thank's for yous videos lucky man!
Thank you for sharing this with us! China, Russia and other places should rebuild and operate all of these "little trains"! They seem heart warming and fit in to the communities they serve very well! The locomotives could be cleaned up and burn better so the communities would be cleaner and give a better sense of pride. Would love it if the US did this sort of thing, but that is a 'pipe dream' as we call it. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
The people along the track are clinker-pickers, gleaning usable coal out of the ashes for heat at their homes. My late uncle told me of his doing that back during the Great Depression. He said they would often make catcalls to the engine crew in hopes they might reply by throwing chunks of coal at them from the tender...perhaps hoping to bean one off his head but his often getting a big, piece of coal to take home.
free fuel for cooking or heating the home. At 1 point it becomes too wasted and not efficient for the boiler, but still good enough for low energy type applications.
that's called a blowdown, its a way to remove composites and impurities in the boiler, usually from the water. This operation is never performed at stations.
Many of the procedures used on the Shibanxi were once common in the United States, including the ash dump from the firebox and the mud and salt blow-out. BTW, how many kilometers between overhauls is this 0-8-0 rated for? Neglected boilers will leak or, worse, burst.
Probably the blow down valve, used to remove impurities from within the boiler to avoid amongst other things priming and poor performance. Being driver controlled it would be used when no danger to passers by! Larger engines would often have whats known as a continuous blowdown, always active probably exhausting up the chimney so not noticed!
All steam locomotives must periodically drop cinders from the fire. Most of the time engines operated by museums or excursion lines will only do so in certain areas where other crew members are available to shovel the glowing embers safely off of the rails to a place where they won't burn the ties or cause a wildfire. Looks like the steamers used in China for actual traffic do things similarly, only it's the station hands that take care of it.
I'm developing a mild crush on it all too - these wee engines are so ruthless in their utilitarian existence that they reek of charm. I think this one's a C4 class? Little mountain goats.
This is the last one of his kind in China. And it isn't only used for tourism, but actually serves the locals for decades. For the tourists, the ticket charges one USD while for the locals living amongst mountains and valleys, the ticket charges less than 30 cents.

Thank you.
Please watchi again!
@Rocketboy1950
Thanks!
T'was the blow down valve. helps to do it eery so often in a steam eninge. you do it if theres to much water in the boiler and or other things.
free fuel for cooking or heating the home. At 1 point it becomes too wasted and not efficient for the boiler, but still good enough for low energy type applications.
Beautiful video. UP
Member of the channel. Parts?
Hi channel owner do these train are still in use in china ...as china have bullet train so china is preserving this type of trains?
Excellent :-)

This town called "mifengyan".
It is in Sichuan in China.
Thank you.
that's called a blowdown, its a way to remove composites and impurities in the boiler, usually from the water. This operation is never performed at stations.
It's called a blowdown valve, they use it when there's too much water in the boiler and to blast out impurities.

Thanks for watching!
Why the hell was No. 14 carrying No. 09's Tender?

Beatiful!!!
Fantastic.

Is this a working railroad or some sort of enthusiasts endeavor?
This is a super-cool RR.
RailKingJP ....
Working steam railways.... like time-travelling! .. Thanks
@pwalpar
Thank you.
მადლობა
@2005wenlu
謝謝你看。
super,merci.
mighty fine show!
Thanks for watching!
Very nice video. 5***** + favorites.
That isnt the safety valve. Its the blow down for sending out sediments built up in the boiler.
Excellent
I like classic train. Greeting from Indonesia

Grazie
Looks like the train nearly snuck up on a guy at 3:30 he jumps back quick just before the film cuts to another scene, he jumps back quick.
Good engineer, he has that kitten purring. also so funny to see people, waiting to pick up the ash from the fire box and any extra coal
GREAT STUFF RailKingJP YOU HAVE THE GIFT TO SHOT GOOD VIDEOS!
plarailmike UK
pretty sure that was a blow off of excess boiler pressure
1:10 Coal shoots 2:20 Coal shoots
@neantcity
merci.
in the China is this normal that steam railway takes transport many people??
good vid.
Excellant video. 問候從格魯吉亞 U.S.A.
かっこいい！
This is the last one of his kind in China. And it isn't only used for tourism, but actually serves the locals for decades. For the tourists, the ticket charges one USD while for the locals living amongst mountains and valleys, the ticket charges less than 30 cents.
What a lovely train and setting. What is the town?
