Rice Boiler
More disappointment came with our visit to the Zaozhuang Coal Mining Administration's line south of Tengzhou. This was another operation where high deflector QJs had been reported but once again dieselisation had taken it's toll, leaving a requirement for only one QJ to be steamed. Luckily it was one of the high deflector machines, QJ 7068, which we found at the eastern end of the system. The loco spent much of the morning attached to the messroom by a length of hosepipe, providing steam to cook the crew's lunch. It was photographed later while doing some shunting, it's only other duty that day.
