Another quiet day for the diesels. The GKD1A worked the ore train to Shenbutong and back then did a bit of shunting before retiring to the shed. The DF7G stayed on shed all day and only moved when SY 0819 required shunting out of the way to let SY 1470 out of the shed following its boiler washout.

SY 2008 worked all the Shenbutong passengers. Both Sanyelian trains were also steam with SY 1581 on the afternoon working. SY 0965 and SY 1581 handled most of the work around Gongsi yard and the complex with the GKD1A lending a hand while SY 1581 was out with the afternoon Sanyelian passenger.

The visibility wasn’t good enough for quality photography in the morning and by the afternoon it was too warm for exhausts as well.
