| Makeshift bar in the soft sleeper |
 |
| A frozen lake and some spectacular mountains as we head towards Beijing |
 |
| The morning empty limestone train heads up to the terminus at Yangjiazhangzi (apparently) |
 |
| Struggling uphill, with the CNR line in the foreground |
 |
| Eager spectators |
 |
| After arrival at the terminus, the train backs up to the cement plant |
 |
| Then after loading, runs back to the terminus |
 |
| Where the loco is turned |
 |
| ...and then prepares to run downhill. This shot taken from an almost finished apartment complex. Quite nice apartments too...! Good views anyway. |
 |
| Running down to Huludao |
 |
| Loco facilities at Huludao |
 |
 |
| Scary looking moving food. Someone mentioned cicada pupae. Mmmm, yummy. |
 |
| The old and the new in Huludao |
 |
| The afternoon empties run uphill in the sun |
 |
| No, this wasn't staged... :) |
 |
| Approaching the summit |
 |
| Nice S curve at the summit |
 |
| Old loading bins |
 |
| View from the bins as the freshly loaded train comes back to the terminus |
 |
| Spinning at Yangjiazhangzi |
 |
| Ready to go |
 |
| And we're outta here |
 |
| On the way back to Huludao |
