The morning passenger train drifting back down to Pingdingshan, from the line to the north.

A "JS" hurries the passenger along, through the icy fog, past a lime kiln, west of Baofeng.

Dawn at the depot, with engine crew warming themselves and equipment before the shift.

Young technician lends a hand in the steam workshop.

A depot worker applies the splash of colour that has rescued many a Chinese steam
photo in the foggy, flat, monochrome conditions.

Icy lace from freezing fog - against a dumped SY in Pingdingshan depot.
