Hello, There does not have to be any surprise that QJ 6301 was sent to Tonghua for repairs. The "ban of steam overhauls" by CNR dates May 1st 2003. QJ6301 was...
Dear simon, The translation on the smoke deflectors read as- carry on the glourious tradition on one side and on the other reads- try to be the best worker for...
Colin, "main line" is my classification and means all kind of QJ hauled trains except for the local shunting. Nobody knows (or wants to tell you) when the new...
Hello everyone, Peter, thanks for the update. I spent 3 days at PDS in November 2002, and the only services on which QJs seemed to predominate at that time...

From John Agnew, That message to Bernd abour hechi was sent a year ago. I and others no doubt, receieved it today. Somehow it has popped up again? and now with...
Hi John, No problem. I got a virus alert and killed the file. Before I could send a virus alert to the group, Florian already did. We all have to live with...
John, Are you sure that the message with the virus isn't from you? There are viruses around that replicate themselves by attaching themselves to an old e-mail...
Duncan Cotterill, I just ran Norton again, and its all clear. I run it automatically midday every Friday. No virus' thank God. Where that old message came from...
Hello all, JiTong has cancelled all K995-998 trains (the diesel express) due to low patronage (what a surprise...). Remaining trains are the stopping trains...

For those interested I have just received an email from my ISP & i include it here. Maybe this is the problem maybe not.GoConnect Support - Email Virus...
PS I have found AVG 6.0 which is free for home users more affective than Norton. Early this year I reported on an email from a reputable hobby shop in the U.S...
Peter Patt You list the remaining Ji-tong passenger trains. Does this mean the steam Trains 6057-60 from Tongliao to Daban and back no longer run? My...
As I ran through a couple of my other news sites I found the following information on virus activity [Johannesburg, 5 August 2003] - Anti-virus companies have...
Louis, thanks for the correction because I just talked about the westward trains: Tongliao-Daban still runs. Basically all steam hauled passenger trains are...
Maybe the cost & expense of steam servicing facilities on the line, put a bit more of a dent in the purse strings to put the purchase of more diesels. Seems...
Peter Patt Thanks for the additional info on Ji-Tong passenger trains. In regard to the Xilinhot extension, is obvious that the Ji-Tong did at one point intend...
Hello Peter regarding the Xilinot branch and steam - I came down the branch from Xilinot behind a QJ with 11 passenger coaches, on a GW Tours charter, on the...
Peter It's good to get confirmation that stream has actually operated on the Xilinhot line, on the 7 March 2003 charter. Would love to see a trip report with...
Hello all, it seems funny how a story can be told in different way: my sources for the news are 2 JiTong manager, one being responsible for the passenger train...
Hello all, Yes Peter, your confirmed story is right. I was there on the day, and chase the GW steam special on new Xilinhaote line by charted taxi from Rusui. ...
I suspect that the city of Xilinhot may have asked that the railway only run diesels there. They may have handed down this request after the facilities were...
Does anyone have any photo's of the March 7th event? It seems strange, almost unbelievable really, that no one, especially those on the train who must have...
... I fully agree - it's strange. So we wait for Tony's and Jun's pictures now... Clearly it was a VERY big event for JiTong because all important (and maybe...
Knowing the type of person who tends to book GW Travel trips - they are far from being hard core gricers - I doubt if many know of this group's existence. It...
