At present China is developing economy sharply. Especially a big change happened in Shanghai. The steam locomotive was used around of Shanghai until 10 years ago. However, it was thought that it was abolished all now. I heard that a steam locomotive is used yet in several factories of the Shanghai. It is very difficult to enter inside a factory and shoot, the permission is not obtained if almost there is not any special relation. Yet, I am able to shoot the dedicated line of factory outside from a road. Therefore the special permission is not necessary. I introduce JS class steam locomotive of the Shanghai Coking and Chemical (SCCPG) of the Minxing area. I shot this photograph in 1999. However, this locomotive is working yet in October, 2001. |
