Hauling Coal from the Pit - a photo on Flickriver

            2-8-2 JS tender steam locomotive, 8081, hauls coal from the open pit at Sandaoling to the wash plant for processing.  The Tianshhan mountains in the background are one of the largest mountain ranges in the world. We were so lucky to have a clear view like this. Xinjiang Province, Northwest China.
