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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

A special way to film these things
Nice video. It great to watch them operate the train.
Why the hell was No. 14 carrying No. 09's Tender?
Idk, maybe it’s tender was damaged or something and they swapped

@peterlewis2
This loco called "C2".
Made in china.
Thank you.
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.
Awesome intro & video!
@Rocketboy1950
Thanks!
@trainfart
Thank you!
It's called a blowdown valve, they use it when there's too much water in the boiler and to blast out impurities.
好美麗的風景!好想去^_^
Excellent Video! Interesting and well done.
thanks for sharing . i am watching in 2019. i have the feeling that this scene is now long gone ?
@gjhgjh
This town called "mifengyan".
It is in Sichuan in China.
Thank you.
A pleasure to watch - professional quality!
Love these goodie oldie steam trains.
Nossa que coisa linda de ver! Um trem antigo desses em pleno vapor! 😊😊👏👏
Very interesting videos you have posted here.

Working steam railways.... like time-travelling! .. Thanks

Thanks for watching!
Top Class Video from a great little railway
Excellent !!!
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
這如同70年前的基隆八尺門“和平島橋附近”至水瀾洞“陰陽海”的台陽小火車。
@KingmoviesNS1
Dank je.
Nice shooting, I love railways.
Very nice video. 5***** + favorites.
That isnt the safety valve. Its the blow down for sending out sediments built up in the boiler.
Nice ! Again ! Greeting from Swiss.
Beautiful video. UP
Member of the channel. Parts?
@Gian2812
Grazie
The mystery was solved. Thank you.
Is this a working railroad or some sort of enthusiasts endeavor?
This is a super-cool RR.
GREAT STUFF RailKingJP YOU HAVE THE GIFT TO SHOT GOOD VIDEOS!

謝謝你看。
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.
What a lovely train and setting. What is the town?
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
Excellent :-)
Great steam era.. glad to see
super,merci.
Excellant video. 問候從格魯吉亞 U.S.A.
in the China is this normal that steam railway takes transport many people??
good vid.
Klasse Video ,Top Qualität,Abo OK ***** Peter
mighty fine show!
This happens in Australia too, Where i work they do it and its not uncommon.
Why are the red hot lumps of coal dumped from the engine? Don't they still have some energy in them?
@chef thanks
1:10 Coal shoots 2:20 Coal shoots
I like classic train. Greeting from Indonesia
Fantastic.
