The Zhanhe Forestry Railway was quite different in character to the systems at Weihe or Yabuli, more rolling Siberian steppe than forested hills. The forested hills were there but a long way to the east of Zhanhe.
C2 0-8-0 SZ 31174 worked a long train of timber past Erdaohe, about 20km from Zhanhe, on 26 February 2001.
