Hard Going
QJ 6998 and QJ 7143 were finding it hard going with an eastbound freight on the climb away from Xiakengzi on the morning of 1 December 2004. In spite of being around the pass until the morning of 4 December, this train and the following working were the last steam hauled eastbounds we photographed on the pass. Things were beginning to get difficult.
