    Max safe speed? 2 MPH or thereabouts?
    Looks like some of the old Milwaukee Road tracks.
    Unbelievable! - how do they ever manage to stay on the rails????

    I believe that that video is shot on one of the coal mine lines in China, certainly those are the C2 class locomotives similar to the one being rebuilt at Boston Lodge currently. Notwithstanding that, yest the trackwork is appalling, and the sight of locos pounding along it somewhat disconcerting...

    Wonderful stuff!!

    I believe this to be the Yinghao coal Railway, regrettably now closed. Is this a long distance preservation project?

    Cheers

    I think you are correct. Just goes to show, don't believe everything you read. The person who sent me the link works in th rail industry and is usually bang on.
