Attacking The Grade
Xinghua colliery lies at the top of a steep bank at the east end of the Chengzihe system. Trains of empties must reverse at Zhengyang before tackling the climb to Xinghua, thus preventing them taking a long run at the bank. SY 0863 made an impressive start away from Zhengyang with a long rake of empties on 2 March 2006.
