China - Cab Ride over the JingPeng Pass - 2003 

This is a cab ride over the famous JingPeng Pass on the JiTong Railway in Inner Mongolia, China. We see a heavy freight train double headed by two of the 2-10-2 class QJ locomotives. Each locomotive required a driver and two firemen, as the fire had to be continuously stoked on the climb up the pass and it was impossible for one man to do the job without a break. One of the firemen seems to be a fan of the Chicago Bulls! The whole journey from JingPeng to Reshui took about 1 hour and 45 minutes for the distance of about 30 to 35 miles. Filmed in February 2003.
