Pingdingshan Coal Railway in Henan province of central China in 2004 serviced thirteen coal mines all connected to the system which itself connected with China Rail at Pingdingshan East.
The bulk of the traffic involved coal haulage with a regular passenger service for colliery workers and the occasional oil train.
The motive power depot maintained and serviced over twenty steam locomotives for daily use. SY 2-8-2s, JS 2-8-2s and QJ 2-10-2s provided the motive power. The JSs were most numerous although several QJs redundant from other systems were noted in use and more in the works.
The video begins with early morning shots of the locos being prepared for their working day and them gradually reversing off the shed. As well as loco crews preparing their locos there are individuals raking amongst the ashes for cinders and unburned coal and a shot showing the collision of technologies as a loco driver chats on his mobile phone.
The final section of the video is taken inside the works where a JS, freshly outshopped, is being steam tested and a QJ is stripped during a complete rebuild. Many of the tasks being undertaken will be recognisable but the working practices may be less familiar.
