Chinese Railways - Sandaoling's Hard Working 建设 JS 2-8-2 Steam Locomotives Shift Heavy Spoil Trains

My first day of my first trip to Sandaoling at the edge of the large active coal pi near Xibolizhan. Xibolizhan, or west station, was the hub for spoil trains, a series of tracks where rubble dug out from the the pit was dumped. This footage shows a few of the trains we saw that day in this magical place. I apologise for some minor tripod issues, something I would struggle with for the rest of the trip. 14 November 2013 - Sandaoling, Xinjiang province, China You can read more about my visit on my 2013 trip report here : If you liked this video, please send me a like and subscribe to the channel.
