A dull, warm start followed by some weak sunshine before visibility collapsed at the end of the day.

SY 2008 was on the Shenbutong passengers and both Sanyelian trains were also steam, with SY 1581 on the afternoon train. There were two locos working slag trains in the complex, almost certainly SY 1047 and SY 1583. SY 0965 covered most of the other trips and shunts including a trip up to Sanyelian after lunch.

The GKD1A worked the ore empties up to Shenbutong and returned to Baiyin with loads around 13:15. After that it retired to the shed for the rest of the day. The DF7G spent most of the day trundling up and down Gongsi yard light engine but also did a bit of shunting from time to time.
