- Jalainur - January 2008 -


Crisp exhaust from the SY as it makes a spritely start away from the washery.



Mood and atmosphere around the washery as an SY emerges through clouds of steam.



The loco delivers it's loaded train to the power plant.



Up on the spoil tips at Nanzhan.



Not the longest train in the world, but can always be relied on to provide a picture -
the passenger steams out of the open cast pit, bound for Nanzhan.



Dramatic lighting around the washery.



The organised chaos in the pit - train movements back and forth as they negotiate the reversals.



An SY departs the brooding, industrial setting of the washery at Dongfanghong.



The loaded coal trains are chimney first workings, but only climb as far as the mid level, where they
offload onto a conveyor belt.



A loaded coal train works it's way up through the levels.
