@Chrisgodoflard Steam locos still work the 36 km branch line from the ore mine at Yamansu to the China Rail exchange sidings at Shankou (on the Wulumuqi-Lanzhou main line). Diesel locos are due to take over in March 2012. A couple of steam locos will be kept for shunting at the mine. (report by John Raby Sep 2011)
Very good of them to shunt around for you.

@blackthorne57 Do they do still use these engines, not on the main line though.

Shame - but at least you got some steam in your pores!
