Synopsis
Three photographers, who have visited China 35 times over a ten-year period, create what will likely be the world's final photographic essay of the steam engine era. Nostalgic and evocative, these images capture a special moment in history. China was the last country to build steam locomotives...and the last to stop using them. For years, authorities planned to eradicate steam by the 2008 Olympics; they have now practically achieved this goal. Scenes such as those shown in these pages will be no more. The remarkable array of photos includes sheds, workshops, and steelworks; trains, stations, and ticket booths; narrow-gauge railways in Beijing and the northeast; and every region from Tonghua and Hunjiang to Pingdingshan. Most impressive of all: the JiTong Railway, the greatest steam show on earth., China was the last country in the world to build steam locomotives. The final main line engines emerged from Datong workshops in December 1988 and production of steam locomotives for industrial use continued until 1999. The final few steam locomotives were withdrawn from service in 2003, making China the last country to use steam on its main lines. Total eradication of China's steam programme is set to coincide with the Olympic games in 2008. When this happens, it will be the end of the last mecca for fans of real steam. This is a photo essay detailing the end of this era., Over a ten-year period these three photographers visited China 35 times to create this photographic essay of a dying era. They show steam at work on China Rail, on lines built & operated by individual provinces rather than state, on industrial systems & on some of the many narrow guage lines that once existed in China.
