Coaling the 1683
Title:  Coaling the 1683
Description:  Teifa Mining Railway workers fill SY Class 2-8-2 1683's tender with coal using a steam-powered crane car equipped with a clamshell. The guys have learned to stand upwind of the bucket when it opens! Note the waste in the doghouse to repack the bearings as needed.

Finally!
Title:  Finally!
Description:  JiTong Railway QJ-Class 2-10-2 #6911 comes around the horseshoe curve outside Lindong, Inner Mongolia, at 60 mph, turning into the setting sun and the 50-mph winds in the high country with the last regularly-scheduled, steam-powered standard-gauge revenue passenger train in the world. We had tried to get this shot for 4 days--and the 4th was a charm!
