QJ near Lindong China 2004

A QJ works a freight train in the rain. We set up under a highway bridge in the muddy river bed for protection from the rain for this moody shot. Fortunately no noisy vehicles passed overhead to ruin the video.

Smoke hangs low over the train as it approaches the viaduct on this cold dismal day. The locomotive drivers slip slightly on the wet rail as the locomotive traverses the bridge. The engineman responds immediately by easing back on the throttle and the engine regains her footing. As the train continues into the distance, a new diesel locomotive is revealed after the 10th car in the train, signaling the end of an era. The line was fully diesel powered in 2005.
