I believe it was "Chinese Steam's Last Stand" produced by Highball Productions. I saw the first half and was going to watch the second part but my VCR bit the dust.Big Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]

This morning [Saturday], on RFD-TV a train video featuring double-heading Chinese steam locomotives. I missed the beginning, and end, but what I did see was pretty interesting,

Chinese QJ Class 2-10-2's, double heading in some pretty rugged terrain. There were some on screen titles for locations, and lots of audio featuring  "stack-talk" echoing around. Not to mention, some really impressive shots on deck girder bridges of some good length, as these trains worked up mountain grades. With cab interior shots showing hand firing of the locomotives as they worked out on the grades.

 What narration there was was done in British accents. Would have loved to have seen the whole thing, but that was not possible.

Can anyone put a title or source to this video?  Thanks, in advance.
