Somewhere in China. The locos have the Chinese state railway emblem on the front and the people and landscape is typical Chinese. Central China somewhere I guess. But the line is likely a small coal mine's own narrow gauge line. Maybe quite short and unknown, and probably not under steam anymore anyway - almost no steam left in China now. Most of the remaining closed down in the 2010's it seems.

I think you are right (I was born and raised in China). The logo is for China Railway. And I guess this video was taken way back (1990's?) by watching it. You can tell it from people's clothing style, and how backward this part of rail road is :-) It's never been part of public railway network, never, but seems to serve some small local coal mining business to transport coal. Differently from countries like Vietnam and even Thailand, China has enforced strict rule on its public railroad since the beginning, following Western standards.

Yes, small locomotives destined for use in a rural industrial setting are usually designed to cope with very poor track conditions like this, and can survive the anticipated occasional derailment. Still works out more economical that way rather than spending a lot on track maintenance; they're not transporting paying passengers.
