Evening departure

tarboat posted a photo:

An early evening service is seen leaving Mifengyang uphill on the Shibanxi Coal Railway. It was almost dark when I took this shot and it was a case of erecting the tripod, high ISO setting, and hoping that the low exposure speed wouldn't be too much of a problem head-on. Not something that could be attempted with film.

Afternoon service to Linghe sets out from the Huangjia terminus of the Nanpiao Mining Railway. The bustling street market alongside the line here was a favourite location for watching the passenger trains.

Railtours the old way

tarboat posted a photo:

Time was when a tour of an industrial railway was undertaken with the participants climbing into wagons for the journey. To remember the old ways a nostalgic wagon trip was arranged on the Chasewater Light Railway for members of the Industrial Railway Society prior to their 2013 AGM. The trip was blessed with warm sunshine and a good time was had by all. Even the smuts were authentic!

Head Wrighton No.1 shunts chaldrons under the screens at the Beamish colliery during the recent photo charter. This locomotive can be quite alarming as from certain angles it appears to be running without a driver!
