The Jiayang coal railway was a rare survivor of a narrow gauge line that continued to serves a whole community. The recent development of new roads in the area it serves has reduced its significance but it has renewed itself as a tourist line.

Back when the coal mines were still operating a passenger service is departing from the reversing point at Mifengyang. The pointsman is reaching to remove the green signal flag from its holder.

The screens building and rail loading area at at the Sanbao colliery, Liaoning Province, China. At first glance it looked to be closed but the presence of loaded wagons told another story. The mines in this area were extensively developed by the Japanese during their occupation in the 1930s and early 1940s. All now demolished.

This is the stop at Shaguotun where access to the platform requires walking alongside the track and crossing a siding. On this day it was running as a mixed train with two wagons of rails immadiately behind the locomotive.
