Totally agree Oliver. Surprised it runs let alone manages to stay on the tracks..

I've never seen anything like it. It looks like it's coming to its final resting place.

This poor steam locomotive is clearly in pain.

How this train doesn't derail is beyond my ability to comprehend.

If you look at her engineer, he looks equally rundown. My guess is he knows nore ahout that engine then he does himself, and they both keep eachother on track

🤣🤣 pretty accurate

😂

😂😂😂💀

Sounds just like my grandpa aswell...

yeah... that's so sad

Oh yes. That train is very sick. It's going to derail very soon.

Sounds like the boiler system is clogged and will catastrophicly pop...it's a danger sign..I work with a 98 yr old boiler..despite my appearance.....

True but with a little TLC it could be doing its job more efficiently

Imagine being 96 and working in stone quarry, and a dork like you comes along "hard working old man yes good strong 🤓"

Jajaja 😁 eso es verdad

It's Chinese, it looked like that since day 1

​@@stellviahohenheimChina also has other non junk looking trains

Didn't realize they were the last to phase out Mainline Steam, that's pretty interesting considering their knack for innovation. I'll have to do some research, appreciate 👍

@@RailAustralia Coal is so plentiful that it didn't make sense to use diesel in many areas. The low cost of fuel was enough to offset the increased labor and maintenance costs.

How did you find out it was an 0-8-0? Tiny driving wheels with leaking steam joints near the cylinders make less than ideal conditions for identification.

What are you talking about? This still looks a thousand times safer than some trains in the us

​@@boratsagdiyev5679 Only if you mean mass transit trains where people get mugged.

Yep,despite the leaks it's still managing to pull OK.

Speaking of clean, the 98 8921 from Germany is very clean. it burns light oil and uses a diesel generator to power it's electric burner

Was about to say the same, the rocking is because of the shitty tracks. The engine seems to be working pretty good still

The rails are clapped out for sure. Makes the actual locomotive seem jank af, when it's the rails being jank@@HamsterWheelGaming

Puerile Americans don't care much for facts.

except that whistle which sounds like a dying pig

Dude that thing is leaking steam on mang places

Just the whistle..? 😅

The whistle is it saying kill me

pig squeal

The saddest whistles are all those German ones that are a single pipe screeching like a 5 year old's tantrums. This one sounds like a 14 year old boy at least.

I mean, the supposed Queen of Steam has a whistle that sounds like a combination of a queef and an old man trying to stand up. I'll take the pig squeal over that.

The whole thing is 😆😬

I am sure a dead body, or two, has made its way into the fire box.

I thought it was funny 😂

And a complete overhaul

Locomotive: "Don't cry for me, I'm already dead."

Bro needs emotional therapy and a repair

More then 1 i think

These trains mainly carry coal directly from the mines and will burn lower grade coal, I've seen a video of one casting tons of sparks out of it's funnel, pretty wicked.

exactly the opposite of the 98 8921 in Germany

Yeah but it's obviously broke

More like "if its broke, dont fix it"

I don't know bro, seems pretty fucking broke to me.

It would still sound like a machine. People would know it is mechanical in origin.

It sounds like a screaming piglet to me 😂

​@@nightriderjazz Sounds like someone blowing into a tube whisti too hard 😂

It's literally screaming out in nightmarish pain.

It probably has derailed multiple times but just been put back on the shit tracks. It's possible it even hopped off and then back on the tracks in this short

And his job.. which I can’t blame him really. I wouldn’t like my job either if I were forced into it at 4 years old and been doing it 18 hours a day since.

Shoulda been the squeal in Deliverance.

@@sumnerslandscaping5565 Yes I lived in one my whole life and in some regions that is exactly what happens.

mechanically they are fine. who cares how they look

​@GewelReal mechanically that thing is NOT fine. The amount of steam leaks would have condemned it anywhere else in the world. That poor old thing is worn out.

​@@leonardbrookes6936they were made by the workers themselves, not a huge company back then.

​@@sneeki8082 They were most likely made by a design or manufacturing bureau that served the same purpose. There were likely many of these small individual locomotives built.

I agree but shit it’s amazing to see that they are indeed durable yet fragile machines

Its been going for 90+ years! That little guy may be going for another 90 years.

I think it can. I think it can.

So china had invented the rail system?!

Yep, I was there; no trains in 1423.

they might have just started up the engine and still had the cylinder cocks on to get all the water out of the pistons

@@potterbold9254nah bro I can literally see a hole in the top of the piston. The cylinder cocks don’t send steam that far up.

Barely 💀

Chinese, they make all their domestic goods last a very long time. They have buildings that are over 1000 years old.

​@@indridcold8433Now, they have 16 story highrises falling apart from their own weight

@@bobthesaucegod903 All nations have infrastructure and buildings collapsing. I recently went through an area in Mississippi, U.S.A. there was an enormous traffic jam. The traffic was diverted because of a bridge collapse. In Ontario, Canada, a draw bridge tower collapsed. The operator was saved but the bridge was stuck closed. Ships had to be delayed until the bridge was demolished. Florida U.S.A, haa had many high rise condominiums collapsing lately. In Uruguay, an antenna tower fell destroying two homes. How often do those fall? The list goes on and on.

​@@indridcold8433The chinese made things that last at a long time... Emphasis on made. They don't make stuff like that anymore. Not since communism took over.😢

@@justsoicanfingcomment5814 They make durable products for their domestic cnsumer products. But for export products, they make junk like Nike, Apple products, and computers, that fall apart intentionally and other nations flock to that garbage. Why would they change that if China can keep replacing the broken stuff that other nations obsess over it? They have managed to almost completely shut down domestic production in several nation's. France, Spain, United States of America, Brazil, have almost no domestic production at all because China won a trade war with them. Other nations like Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico, have about half their domestic production gone already, when it comes to consumer goods. Their strategy is flawless, as long as other nations keep importing their consumer goods. But, they do not use that junk. They get their consumer goods made better so it will last. Right now, turn your computer, tablet, smartphone, or PDA over and it is most definitely made in China if you live in Spain, United States of America, or Brazil. If you live in the UK, Canada, Mexico, you have over a 50% that the product you are using is made in China.

Jinyang Coal Railway, still active

Just to be funny "It just came off the assembly line!"

I remember the episode of Thomas the Tank engine where was a "bad" train that rocked on rails and called it "rock and roll"))) Could someone tell which episode is it and what was the name of the character?

😅

Oh wow! That's about the worst track I've ever seen.

Very flexible train.

The locomotive refused to be Museum Artifact

​@@strix501It's only 25 years old...rough life.

China does make robust stuff, might look cheap and fragile but it isn't, its purpose is to work in hostile conditions for long periods of time without needing much maintaince and thats it.

thing about steam engines, if they aint skookem they will explode, the cabins however can be a rando plate, kinda surprised they even have thaf!

Theyre not designed like that for aesthetics. It's a complex piece of machinery under high temperature and pressure. Every piece has a function and is shaped to seeve that function. This is literally the ugliest most utilitarian engine out there. Then the cabin just needs to house a person and keep the rain and sun off them.

The amount of stuff which you use daily including parts on your car fitted by manufacturers is truly astounding.

Cab was probably replaced at one point by some random dude with a welder

Made in China, it probably looked about the same when it was new.

This steam locomotive was built in 1980 and was working for a coal mine ( no wonder why its trashed ). The mine went bankrupt in 2007 and this railway line is abandoned and the steam locomotive was scrapped in 2009.

​@@HansTheDeutscheLuftschraube.Sadge. Still surprises me that this one was built in the 80s. Oh well, guess visual maintenance is unaccounted for on Chinese Industrial Railways.

I'm sure you're not the only one David 😉👍

Unlike the trains of today Those kind of trains will run a life time with very minimal to no maintenance at all , I think it's emotional because it's from another. time and era that we wished we'd have had a chance to experience, and although most of us haven't , no matter how old we may grow ,just the sight of one takes you waay back to when you was a child we you see something like this for a moment, you forget all about today's world, and start wondering how it must have been to be living in those days ,

Because as a wise little tank engine once said, little engines can do big things

It's incredible she's still running, even moreso as a Tourist Train 🤔

I think it is losing 1/4th of its steam pressure through the seams and leaks.

Before train-heroin you mean?!

I know man. But I have to admit, such a strong lasting engine should be be treated with the upmost care. AND DEFINITELY not looks like that😢. The fact that it's been working THIS LONG. Is Proof of it's good mechanics. So it should be able to retire to a museum, get cleaned up, and be ridden on as recreational piece of history.

What? Like a… uh… ACHOO, choo train? 🙃 Everyone else: Patrick Star saying “BOOOO!”

You don't want to ride the Bone Train?
