Remarks & Notes

Silhouetted against the rising sun, an unknown JS 2-8-2 leads a loaded coal train from Erjing Mine to South Station, where it will be transferred to the National Railway. Sandaoling Coal Mine Railway is actually composed of two mine systems: the well known open cast pit mine and a surface railroad line leading to two deep mines. These two massive underground mines are appropriately named Yijing and Erjing (Mine One, and Mine Two) and generate at least 4 trains per day. Like the rest of the mining activity at Sandaoling, these are served exclusively by steam in 2014!!

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
