Just Too Late
The Yongcheng Coal Railway was our last great hope for steam operation in the Xuzhou area but we were sadly disappointed. Two DF10D diesels had arrived a few days before our visit and now handled most of the traffic. Only two QJs were in steam, and one of them was only seen light engine. QJ 3439 did provide us with our only decent shot of the day while shunting loaded coal wagons at the south end of Yongcheng yard on 2 January 2005.
