China Moon - a photo on Flickriver

China Moon

            It was an early start on this day in north west China. To bag this shot I had to be in situ by 0600 hrs. This is the loco servicing area known as Dombolischan where train crews swap over at the end of their shift, also the locos receive water and are oiled by the train crews.
The big JS 2-8-0s operate through the night hauling coal out of the Sandaoling open cast coal mine in very sub zero temperatures. At approx between 0600-0700 the locos start arriving,  a 2nd loco can be seen in the distance. 
It doesn’t really get light until 0800 in January so between 0700 and 0800 the lighting is amazing. In this shot of JS 8190 the moon is still out and the loco is letting off some steam into the cold morning air.
