A Veil Drawn - a photo on Flickriver

A Veil Drawn

            So Sandaoling ended steam operations from the open cast pit on April 25th. Just two or three locos remain for shunting work at the Nanzhan yard. 

No more hanging around Dongbolizhan at shift change in the freezing pre dawn.  Probably just as well considering current events in the province and the country.
