This is unimaginable. I live near the Datong Locomotive Factory, and even I graduated from its kindergarten. I can hardly imagine the story of this land 40 years ago. Now, the factory no longer produces steam locomotives, but there is still a "forward(前进qianjin)" steam locomotive in the yard. Thats lucky to see your video!
Thanks for the upload. Good narration. Hopefully those young kids in China can identify themselves in the old video taken. By now I trust there arennin the sixties!.

in a way, the steam whistles on these locomotives sound similar to the whistles heard on CPR's steamers
Actually Low Floor Light Rail (trams, trolleys) are making a big comeback in cities across China.
👌👌👌
I see some old Japanese locos pulling passenger carriages in this video.
Steam production at Datong finished in 1988.
And the Steam in RENFE And CP?
