All the Way From America
Our 1984 visit to Fushun produced very few quality pictures but we did find American exile KD6 478 waiting at the opencast mine's servicing point. This loco was one of a number of USATC S160 class 2-8-0s supplied to China by UNRRA after WWII. The Chinese engines acquired larger cabs and taller chimneys to suit the generous Chinese loading gauge. In my opinion, they look far better than the originals.
