Stopping Passenger
QJ 230 drifted down the valley towards Wutong with train 535, the 12:27 Shenshu - Yichun stopping passenger, on 28 February 1989. Many lines were only served by a single all-stations passenger each day but there were no fewer than 5 pairs of stoppers daily on the Shenshu - Nancha section. They weren't fast but for many communities they provided the only practical and affordable means of transport in the days before decent roads were built into remote areas.
