Fushun electric
An icy day on the Fushun Mining Railway. This system serves the opencast coal mine and associated industry in the city of Fushun, Liaoning Province. This is a typical level crossing in the urban area where the trackbed is used as a dump for much domestic rubbish. The line of ice parallel with both sides of the left track is cause by water dripping from coal wagons passing this way.
The locomotive (617) heading the empty coal train is a 1500v DC electric which came to Fushun from the Maoming oil shale mine in c2001. It was built at the Xiangtan Electric Locomotive Factory, Hunan, in 1988.
