A steam locomotive rolls through Qianwei county, Sichuan Province. The engine travels on tracks first laid by the Jiayang Coal Mine in 1958. The 19.84-kilometer-long line began operation on July 12, 1959, connecting the towns of Bagou and Shixi for coal transport. The steam engine line is still used today as a passenger train.
