Train Racing
With around a dozen locos working spoil trains from Xibolizhan it wasn't unusual to get two trains in the same photo. In spite of the rough track and the number of propelling moves, trains weren't slow and could give the impression of racing each other. This picture shows JS 8368 in the lead on the approach to Xibolizhan but JS 8081, nearest the camera, was catching up fast.
