Ninxia is a small desert region on the Yellow River in northern China. The main railway interest is the long route from Beijing and Baotou to Lanzhou, which crosses the region from Shizuishan to Gantang. This remained steam worked until the mid-1990s before dieselisation and then electrification.

Gansu Province lies in China's arid north west. The gallery contains images from the main lines during the transition from steam to diesel and electric around 1990 and from a few industrial lines, the last of which used steam until late 2015. There are also a few fairly recent images of main line diesels and electrics.

Hebei Province surrounds Beijing with high mountains in the north and west contrasting with the flatlands of the south-east. Although its railways include some of the world's busiest main lines, it's the secondary lines through the hills that are more rewarding to visit. Most are still diesel worked.
