The Beijing Railway Museum houses a large collection of steam, diesel and electric locomotives and other rolling stock. Many of the exhibits seem to have been selected for being unusual rather than being typical examples from the working railway but it's still a fascinating place to visit.

The 204km line from Daban to Haoluku opened at the end of 1995 and included the climb over Jingpeng Pass. It was a photographic paradise with plenty of bridges, tunnels and horseshoe curves set in glorious mountain scenery. The first diesels arrived in late 2004 and steam had finished by early 2005.

The 155km section east from Daban to Chabuga had the honour of being the world's last steam worked main line, finally succumbing to diesels in late 2005. What a superb line it was, with wide open spaces, distant mountains, long inclines and no shortage of excellent photo positions.
