Side Contact
An unidentified ZG150-1500 electric approached the tipping area below the Guchengzi overlook with a loaded spoil train on 4 December 2013. There is no overhead at this point and the locos use their side-contact apparatus to take power fron a conductor that runs alongside at cab height. The supporting poles for the side-contact wire can be seen more clearly on the line below.
