Sandaoling Xinjiang China 19th November 2014

            Another shot of the loaded test train from the new western deep mine at Shadunzi made up of 20 China Rail wagons pulled by JS 2-8-2 8053. It is taking the rerouted line to Nanzhan. At the time of our visit the output from Shadunzi was  being trucked to Nanzhan but when in full operation the plan is to use up to 4 locos to move coal from the mine directly to the yard for onward shipment.

We were told that when the mine is producing to its full capacity in several years time & trains of more than 30 wagons are needed diesels will then take over. So enjoy it while you can.
