JS.8225 left the blue loader at Xikeng with a loaded coal train for the Xuanmeichang washery on the afternoon of 4 December 2015, passing JS.8081 loading at the electric shovel.
For much of the time we were at Sandaoling there were two loading points in action at the same time and four trains serving them, producing a loaded departure every 20-30 minutes. At other times there could be gaps of over an hour between trains.
