Yinghao coal railway 2　（May,2006） 

there's something that makes this scene almost like it's plucke straight from a dystopian novel... The dirty clapped-out 0-8-0s with headlamps that looks like a pair of eyes in a box hauling equally as dirty and clapped-out tipper cars full of coal back and fourth between valliages makes it almost feel like something happened in the past where humans had to resort back to steam power just to move the goods from A to B... Dystopian yet somewhat beautiful.

In Hong Kong, we cannot see this long ago. However, steam trains in mainland China are still operating in many villages. There is a special style/genre about it. If this steam trains take tourist, it will be wonderful. Also, their sizes are small and look cute, too.

These locos appear to be running on a path suggested by 2 steel lines and have a steering wheel as an optional extra. Elastic coupling rods are also needed. Great video.

The engines stay on the track purely by habit. Very interesting.

These are actually terrifying. Super cool but also terrifying.

21世紀だということを忘れさせる風景

7:28 those chikens slowly crossing the railroad awesome

stay at home mom bringing the family, complete with pet dog, out to watch the coal train go by. very nice.

Awesome.

I think I've watched this several times as a 4 year old.

Wow, I can't belive how close those two train's are running at the 4.20! Amazing video!

Great video, good sound. This was one of the last steam operated industrial lines in Chins, very few left now. Thanks for sharing.

Wondering how many times a year that line derails.

A really lovely video, very well composed. Thanks for sharing this!

There are still railroads like this running somewhere in the world.

Nice to see this older video too. Still the same high quality!

Waao... Lovely nostalgic video.... Great to remember old things... And the funniest comments ever for a video... Thanks to everyone

Every time it whistles, at least 30 people go immediately deaf.

ওয়াও অসাধারণ ভিডিও ❤

I’m not sure if this railway is still running, but they could at least lay down new tracks for a much smoother ride. Not to mention that the locomotives as well as the rest of the equipment are in serious need of overhaul.

God it makes you wonder how they stay on the tracks lol

thanks for sharing, great video!

the oldest still active, only for tourism purposes ...steam locomotive in Italy is less old than what we see in this movie!

Talk about tough engines wow

@NN2Blue Thank you!

Nice video.

que gran video... muy linda locomotora!! saludos desde Chile.

@NapierNimbus Thank you!

The regulations in China compared to the USA are outstandingly different, look how wavey the steel rails are and how things are maintained I mean look at the condition of some of those trains! - I can't imagine the derailments and accident amounts are higher there than in the USA. or other countries that has strict regulations, good thing these small worker steamers seem to be on the slower end. Still cool to see these workers are fearless in some ways and travel almost at full speeds.

A superb video! Thank you for sharing - Mike

@luvmostmusic Thank you!

Linda locomotiva

Quaint. 'They' seem to have extracted their money's worth out of all the hardware. Motto- 'If it still moves & stays on the rails; don't fix it'.

Enjoyable video. What a character! I love the way the locomotive sways from side to side. I wonder after all these years, are they still running? Is there any improvement to the rails?

How do they keep the locomotive on such rough trackage??????

This loco leaks more steam then it uses

Superb!

The Yinghao Cola Railway Steam Locomotive 2008.

Mama,can we go on that ride again? Even the chickens arn't affraid of the locomotive.

This is superb!!!

Thank you! However I don't know how to do it. What is 'a video answer'?

07:37 wheww that was close! LOL

great great Video!!!! :) wow... very nice!!

just a great video to watch and so natural, so different in contrast to the hi-vis safety out fits worn by many in other places. Keep up your great work.

Bom vidio

🎉

How dose it Evan stay on the track

i saw a bicycle ane we in india also use such durable cycle.😊 By the way the steam engine needs a great care.

Super

That is one rough railroad

Amazing that the train does not derail with the odd bends in the track. "WAS" That is a shame if it has been discontinued. Hard work to keep that train running all of these years.

Whistles for a couple of chickens, but keeps on full throttle.

this class of loco seems to be very prevalent in china. what class is it ?. the wheels seem to be far to small for the loco they support lol, I really like the make do and mend attitude of these folk , but the health and safety issues must be horrendous. I watched one video on here where most of the control dials appeared to be missing off the taps and pipework , the driver and fireman were passing an adjustable spanner between them in order to turn things on and off it seemed funny that they didn't care lol just got on with the job of moving coal .

爽！

What train model is this? I've seen several videos of Chinese narrow gauge and this one model is always running on all of them.

Jeez, I've seen better laid tracks on 15 inch gauge garden lines. It's a wonder those trains don't derail.

Kind of creepy with how the headlamp assembly looks like Futurama Bender's eyes

Nice steam engines

😉👍😊

Extra!

WEEEEEEEE 2:40

How does it stay on the rails

...............kaum zu glauben ...................

There is no one microchip in thesе locomotives i think )

@jenn011754 When a train passed my neighborhood, I was scared a little.

THE RAIL LOOKS LIKE BRILL YARD NEXT TO NEWARK N.J. ALL BENT OUT OF SHAPE! JAMES ATKINSON

No se como se mantiene la locomotora sobre los railes y no descarrila

В Ленинграде такие во время войны 1941 - 1945 с гитлеровцами , в блокаде города по трамвайным рельсам через город по улицам возили людей, и грузы. Тут нет возможности разместить фотодокумент, но вы можете легко найти, спроси компьютер.

It gone derailed any time

I guess they use steam because it's the cheapest way for the coal mines? Or just cheaper anyway.

Ah yes Nostalgia But i still confused on why wont they use the 0 4 2 wheel configuration instead of 0 4 0

This could be England 100yrs ago

É bem legal ver trens antigos

Trilhos mais cambetas do que simples estradas rurais de carroças !!!! Nunca trabalharia de maquinista numa merda dessa que aí está!!!!! Deve ter sido projetada e executada por ceguetas em alto nível!!!!

Mi musica

こんな酷い保線もろくにしてないレールで、よく脱線しないなぁ？！

I mean 2006😅

Boa noite

7:35 stupid chickens, the same the world over !😂

I MADE A FEW MISTAKES 35 YEARS ON THE RAILROADS THREE. ERIE LACKAWANNA CON RAIL N.J.T. RUNNING A RED SIGNAL IS THE ONE THAT CAN GET YOU FIRED!

fect:the train is rusted and the wheel is small :\

You know what’s totally ironic about all this? There’s concrete ties... of all the things that are modern... concrete ties, shitty worn out rails, even worse equipment... lol it just strikes me as odd, the ties are younger than everything in the video

@cuzinitr Although I don't know why they were running so close, every thing can happen here because it is China.

A must see for every narrow gauge enthusiast. Iff you like, please send to me this movie for a video answer. I will put it into my narrow gauge movie at Börgermoor. One this day 573.000 viewers, every day 2000 viewers more. I would like to promote your fantastic video, maybbe it helps a little bit.

It look like the train has eyes 0-0

Balança mais não cai

if they fix the track alignment it wouldn't be so hard on the locos/ rolling stock typical china

Похоже, что путейцев НЕТУ СОВСЕМ!!!!! Это кошмар!!!!! Ну, и почему не ремонтируют путь??? Что специалистов нету??? Запретить эксплуатацию пути!!!!! Если хотят, то пускай тачками возят. Так и дорог нету. Вот люди влипли! Ну по полной... Настоящая печалька...

penn central be like!!!🗿☠️💀

poopy

Much pollution by this

Worst track

I think there railroad lines need Maintenance.

How does that train stay on the Tracks.
