High In The Hills
QJ 1410 and QJ 1285 were approaching Qinghe station, halfway up the inclined plane above Tianzhu, with a southbound train of oil tanks on the afternoon of 3 January 1990. Afternoon photos were difficult during our visit due to a north-easterly wind that blew the smoke down on the sunny side of the locos. This was one of the few occasions when the locos weren't in the shadow of their own exhaust.
