It's got a red tinge so I would say the surface of Mars! ;-)

How far do these trains run?

I can only dream of seeing steam in comparable regions of Australia. Thanks for posting.

The journey from the western deep mine to the yard at Nanzhan must be 12-13km. The coal trains out of the open cast run about 5-6 km to the washery
