Xibolizhan is one of the busiest locations on the Sandaoling system and the morning shift change can see eight or nine spoil trains gather in the yard for a crew change around 09:00. Most depart shortly afterwards for the tips or to pick up another load of rock from the mine. This photo shows JS 8221 and JS 8197 patiently waiting their turn to depart while JS 8194 headed for the pit with a rake of empties on 15 November 2005.
