China steam finale - electric interlude at Pingzhuang and Yangbaoshan, September 2011

[@Beatlefan67]

Great video thanks for sharing. I had to smile at the brake van/caboose/whatever at 10:24 and 13:12 complete with a semaphore signal on the roof!

The "hello!" killed me.

There is something wonderful about this video, like stepping back in time. I cant believe the low height of the wires and the fact that with ease you can touch the pantograph and get yourself a nice little shock, my guess is that 1500 DC would pump around 7 to 10 amps through the human body. I would love to visit the place

[@lynx911able]

On no account it is 1500V, my guess is 150V more like...

[@canobiecrazy]

Those steeplecabs are real beauties! It would be wonderful if they get preserved in streetcar museums eventually.

I really enjoyed this video. 凸 shaped electric locos, steam locos, and mine trains …I think Chinese railway is still full of mistery!

[@blank5390]

I enjoyed this alot! China has always been about compact and productive at the same time. Beautiful and captivating footage of everyday life. Something about this that makes you want to live there.

Excellent video - love the way they sort the coal.

[@bearbon2]

Very interesting stuff and good variety of subjects. I really enjoyed this video.

[@nmgt1048]

Those unmistakable funny little blue locomotives with the big red pantographs-never saw them before. There are also green steeplecabs,too.

[@kpdvw]

LGB for big boys! Cool!

[@neozeo25]

Too near to the electricity...very dangerous!

[@ВалерийПавлов-я6о]

интересно видеть современную технику рядом с паровозами

[@Isochest]

The 1.5kv is too close:-(

[@nmgt1048]

with the overhead wire so low, it has to be 250vdc or 600vdc at the highest.

[@GEOONTUBE]

...and the winner of the yearly " Worldwide Safety on Workplace Award is..........."

[@UnthinkableSiam]

What kind of electric engine is that.

[@OCBsebastian]

love the patriotic music playing for the miners

[@Rommik]

Обалденное кино!

[@OneginForte]

Oh, Eloc EL-2!!

[@christopherlovelock9104]

wolstenholme 100. .. I just love the part at the beginning of Chinese Security/Police dressed as a miner, taking a picture of you taking a picture of him - not very subtle on their part. All fat and well fed with new hat, scarf, overalls, and shiny boots, - he then 'pretends' to photograph a pile of coal, makes one want to laugh.

[@arbs3ry]

Yea，we are living in an Orwell world, please come and save us lol， ranked 4th in most visited destinations by international tourist arrivals , we definately need more police as an urgent issue, these foreign spies even go to some worthless mines to steal precious infromation from us.

"min de rien" , c'est très sympa,on se croirait à Fonds de Gras (Gd Luxembourg)!!!! jpl

[@chechnya]

The USA without OSHA would be like China.

[@jllmmjj]

[@JPLtrain]

"min de rien" , c'est très sympa,on se croirait à Fonds de Gras (Gd Luxembourg)!!!! Et puis ces belels boites-à-sel!!!!!!!!! jpl

[@caryhuff8924]

Pay no attention to those pesky overhead low hanging electricity killing when you grab them, wires.

[@aserta]

Unless you jump for it, you won't die from it. There's some common sense in the design.
