In The Side Valley
Deep in the side valley below Shagoutai QJ 1208 and QJ 1492 were captured hard at work with a southbound freight. From this spot, the line curves round through a tunnel, crosses the river again and then climbs the hillside above the rear of the train from left to right passing through four more tunnels. The exhaust obscures much of this section but a tunnel mouth is visible above and just ahead of the lead locomotive.
