Steam In The Freezer
Snow on the ground, frost on the trees, deep blue skies, clear sunlight and a cold so intense that it hurt. Perfect conditions to photograph steam engines in other words.SY 1225 prepared to couple up to the empty wagons that the diesel had just brought up from Meitian on the morning of 22 November 2016. The departure of the train was nothing like as satisfying to photograph with the loco propelling and the drain cocks open all the way to Sankuang.
Wujiu came close to producing some exceptional photographs but sadly not quite close enough.
