China Steam,Daban shed & loco yard

This is an interesting video I stumbled across. It is said to be the last working steam shed and support facility in the world (of course not counting tourist RR’s). I particularly liked the steam powered crane loading the fine coal used in stoker equipped steam engines.

Of course, somebody has to shovel the ashes in this labor intense work place.

Enjoy.

I believe this whole operation shut down about 2005.
