China Rail class QJ 205 2-10-2 one of the first batch ever built of which they were to finally number in their thousands, we saw QJ 66xx at Datong works and they were still being built. Seen getting underway from the main freight yard at Shenyang north east China with a long train of tanks for Harbin. This was a very busy place with trains departing or arriving about every 10 minutes or so going to and from the far north east of the county. It was like this all over China where ever you went which can explain the vast number of engines built, they were everywhere you went. We stood here on a bride across the tracks all afternoon taking photographs, it was bitter cold and the rivers in the area were still frozen over but there was no snow about which we had expected. We only saw any high up on the mountains as we passed by. Not a tree or anything green in sight!
