Steam in China 2009 - Sandaoling - Part 1 (re-edit)

Part 1 of 4 re-uploaded videos shot in China in 2009. Material not previously included has been added. The re-edited video has cleaned up audio, improved stability, better resolution and longer sequences. Sandaoling Coal Mine is now (2020) the very last place in the world using steam locomotives for everyday duties in an industrial setting. It really is the end of an illustrious era. Sandaoling mine consist of a deep coal mine and an open-cast pit. JS class 2-8-2 locomotives work the coal and spoil trains. A fewer number of less powerful SY class 2-8-2 locomotives undertake PW train duties. This video starts before dawn with the shift change at Dongbolizhan. Just as the sun is rising the new crews take their trains into the pit to collect coal and spoil. Later a consignment of hydraulic tunnelling props makes its way to the dep mine.
