Well, some of the last steam in Canada worked at some colliery operations in Nova Scotia and at the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Coal Co. plant at Bienfait, Sask. which used two switchers that are both preserved (see http://www3.telus.net/Doug_Gent/BienfaitVideoLinkPage.html for a video of one of them and also http://members.tripod.com/~DRGent/bienfaittrainstn.htm http://members.tripod.com/~DRGent/bienfaitpic22.html#top of page . This lasted until the late 60's. Also, logging operations in B.C. used steam even into the early 70's. <br /> <br />Actually, China and India used steam much later than the 80's. India retired steam in 2000. China was building brand new steam locomotives until 1989. They've just retired most of their steam now, but there are a couple of remote all steam narrow gauge lines are still running in China. Cuba was big for steam until 2002, when there was a total collapse of the sugar industry there. On the Indonesian island of Java, there are many sugar mills that use steam locomotives.
