The End of the Night Shift
Chinese drivers always seem to drive more vigorously when it's time to go home. That applies whether they're driving a steam loco or a minibus full of gricers.The driver of JS.8195 was certainly going for it as he worked the last train of his shift from Xuanmeichang towards Dongbolizhan and shift change.
A cascade of sparks from the chimney can just be seen silhouetted against the silos on the right. Sunrise was still 40 minutes away but the last full day of our visit had just got off to a good start.
