Double Take |
|
SY 1118 is seen here crossing a small river on its way back to Xinfeng yard with loads from Qikeng colliery while, in the background, SY 1118 stops to pump up its brakes on the descent from Qikeng with the same train a few minutes earlier. Yes, this is a composite photo made from two pictures of the same train, taken from the same spot a few minutes apart and illustrates the switchback nature of the railway.
During our February / March 2006 visit the loads from Qikeng actually did stop on the higher level while a train from Pinggang ran over the bridge but the light was poor and the positioning of the trains wasn't ideal.
