            It's the 13th February 2005, with diesels working more trains than before. By December of this year the QJ 2-10-2 steam locos had finished, and 10 years of the best steam show on earth had come to an end.

Like the QJ's before them, these DF4's were obtained second hand by the Ji Tong Railway from China Rail. Even these were replaced later by newer DF8B's, and I understand electrification is nearly complete, apart from this section, known as the Jing Peng Pass, which is to be replaced by a tunnel for regular traffic, but remain open for tourist trains. Any news on this would be greatly appreciated.

DF4 No.6005, in a darker shade of green, departs from Shang Dian, and will have an easy time as it rolls downhill towards Jing Peng station.

The semaphore signals were replaced by colour lights about the same time as steam finished.

The off-white vans at the rear of the train are 3 of the 5-unit fridge vans, but it was probably less cold inside those than it was outside!
