| Sunrise at the loco depot |
 |
| The coaling conveyor |
 |
| Love those cooling towers! |
 |
| Little chimney and big chimney |
 |
| Awaiting her turn |
 |
| Greasing up |
 |
| Ouch! Watch out for homicidal forklift drivers |
 |
| Fitter in the shops |
 |
| Welding between the frames of an SY |
 |
| There are a number of decorated locos at Baotou |
 |
| The second one we saw |
 |
| Simmering in the cold |
 |
| Fill 'er up! |
 |
| Coaling facilities |
 |
| Three SYs heading out to the mill |
 |
| Loco duty list |
 |
| On the move |
 |
 |
 |
| The steelworks was an amazing place |
 |
| You could go almost anywhere |
 |
| The slag pouring building |
 |
| Bringing in empties |
 |
| Loading a crucible car |
 |
| Better than the 4th of July |
 |
| Or Guy Fawkes |
 |
| Please don't park your bike too close |
 |
| Shuffling around the works |
 |
| Pulling out a string of wagons |
 |
 |
| An incredibly shiny Mazda 6 and an incredibly unshiny SY meet as centuries collide |
 |
| Friendly locals taking the bus home |
 |
| Crucible car train |
 |
| All crossings are surprisingly well protected, but the SYs really move |
 |
| Towering towers |
 |
| And incredibly ducty ducts. I'm not sure if these are the finest captions ever |
 |
| Warming ourselves beside loaded crucible cars |
 |
 |
| The thermometer says: its cold |
 |
| Well trained electricians putting years of training into practice |
 |
| The Two Ronnies (Barker has his glasses in his overalls) |
 |
| "Out with the good,... and in with the bad". |
 |
| Slagbreaker |
 |
| Breaking up cold slag pours. Cripes, what a way to earn a yuan |
 |
| Slag train |
 |
| Tipping a crucible on the slag dump |
 |
| A slag train unloading |
 |
| Tipping metal |

 |
| The shop beside the bus stop |
 |
| A sea of bicycles at the shift change |
 |
| Mmmmm, Mongolian Hotpot |
