A further update. New build DF11Gs 0111-0114 are also reported as being destined for Xi'an, which may indicate that Sankeshu's 0105 and 0106 are there for ...
Folks, Thanks Roy. Intriguing! The only non-electrified lines out of Xi'an are to the north and they are minor - hardly likely where the DF11Gs will be used. I...
Hi Bruce and everyone, I wasn't sufficiently confident in my translation to include it in my previous posting, but it looked as if the DF11Gs might be...
Willing to take pictures on the lineside last Saturday on the main line Shanghai - Hangzhou, I was surprised to meet one of the teams erecting electrification...

Dear Bruce and all, I can confirm seeing on last Monday T137/T140 Xi'an - Shanghai with DF11G near Nanjing. I would not be surprised if the loco was running...

Eight of these locos were built in 1937 and became class ST3 after Liberation. None were ever reported by western enthusiasts so I guess they were withdrawn a...
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had list of places with good traffic where they could just go and sit and watch trains go by with out problems from the...

Does anyone have any information on the night train to Hainan island from Guangzhou? It seems like it would be pretty interesting to take, but I can find no...
