The loading point above Shuangfeng closed after the 2000
season. Traffic on the line was light on 4th January 2000 which allowed
me time to record the four legged traffic which brought in most of the
logs. |
 |
Both cattle and horses were well represented, not recorded
were the noisy blue 3 wheelers. |
 |
With minimal equipment available, the logs were
manoeuvered around the yard and hoisted on to the wagons. |
 |
One of the busiest log yards on the system was south west
of Dongfeng. On 23rd February 2003, a set of empties is backed in. |
 |
There were several winches here and a full load was a
combined effort. Here the part train is just being backed down to the
far end of the yard. |
 |
Finally the train is complete and sets off for the main
line, studiously ignored by the local shunter. |
 |
In contrast, the loading point between Dongfeng and
Shuangfeng was a tiny affair. On the same day, a train of empties coasts
past downhill. |
 |
End of the road... 055 has just propelled a loaded train
for its contents to join the log mountain at Weihe, on 8th January
2000. |
