[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 113013, member: 10543"] Perhaps 15 or so years ago a handful of U.S. shortlines bought brand new Chinese steam locomotives for their tourist trains, figuring that it was cheaper than repairing a 60+ year-old U.S. locomotive. I'm sure that the tourists knew no better, but railfans knew better. Despite attempts at camoflaging the locomotive's origin, there was no denying their oriental heritage. That's a fine photo Murasaki. I wonder what gauge the railroads in China use? [/QUOTE]
