China Changchun 21st October 1983

            I'll huff & I'll puff & blow your house down. A less than permanent permanent way hut on the outskirts of Changchun. JF Class 2-8-2 2250 passes with a short freight.
 
We wandered down the line towards Changchun shed but with the temptation of a yard stuffed with steam engines only a few 100 yards away we felt we should heed the official-looking railwayman who seemed to be telling us to b....r off, not that we knew the Mandarin translation.

The good news was that we did get to visit the shed the following day. According to the official briefing it held 82 locos (57QJ, 17JF & 8SL) and employed 2053 workers.
