Even in late February, the morning Huangjia to Linghai passenger was scheduled to leave Zoajiatun while the track was still in shadow. Following the previous day's snowfall, the expressway was closed and it took us until 09:00 to find our way to Zaojiatun via treacherous, ice encrusted, local roads. So it was a very pleasant surprise to be rewarded by the sight of SY 0366 heading to Linghai with the passenger around 3 hours late and in full light.
