Limestone Shunt
Baotou Steelworks' XK13 tanks spent much of their time transporting crushed limestone to the furnaces. XK13 5902 was captured shunting the limestone preparation shed on 12 April 1988. The stone was loaded into skips which would be lifted off the wagons, carried to the furnace tops and tipped into the inferno.
