Gongwusu coal mine is situated about 50km from Wuhai in Inner Mongolia. On a cold, dull, overcast day, JS 2-8-2 No.6249 shunts empty coal wagons in the washery yard. When the train is assembled, 6249 sets off for mine No.3. After attaching a rake of loaded wagons, the JS begins the climb back to he washery. The loco makes slow but steady progress up the incline as the driver expertly catching several incipient wheel-slips.
As the loco slowly made its way past I had a few anxious moments as the camcorder indicator showed tape almost finished. The tape ran out right at the very end of the recording. Phew!! December 2009
