Dagu - The Desert Line - Daba to Guyaozi

Waking the dead at Longwu station - QJ 7205 thunders past a cemetery under a light dusting
of snow, en route to Guyaozi, with empties for the coal mine. January 2006.



Easy to see why this railway is called "The Desert Line" as the track skirts an area of sand dunes
just before reaching the new mine at the end of the system. QJ 7194 in January 2006.
