Review of The Worlds Last Great Steam Show - China 2003 on DVD by Machines of Iron

Jingpeng Pass was the world's last great steam show! The cold January temperatures created billowing clouds of steam and smoker as the 2-10-2 QJ class locomotives challenged the stiff grades of Jingpeng Pass. Visit Daban Locomotive shed where the QJs were serviced and maintained, you will see the Jitong Railway's steam hauled passenger train near Chabuga. Visit rural villages, pass through the crowded village markets, see the local people getting ready for the Chinese New Year and visit the "Great Wall". Machines of Iron brings China steam to you in all its dynamic glory.
