The type of coal being used to raise steam is likely a lower quality, causing these spectacular waste emission effects. By comparison, Anthracite coal (high quality) is smokeless; all that smoke and afterburn is impurities. Ships like the Titanic had problems securing good coal; shady coal sellers would charge for high quality coal but then mix crap coal in with the shipment.

This was common in late 19th century / early 20th century U.S.A. which is why there were so many forest fires. In the Northeast, as I'm sure was also true in other areas, many side valleys and hillsides had small logging railroads as well as the mainline railways running through larger valleys so, very little forest area was not exposed to the repeat burnings ...that helped to encourage the development of our oak dominated forest stands.

Not so. If anything, steam is still valid as it is easiest to maintain in an area where coal is abundant and oil is scarce, like for example China. Plus, what makes diesel more efficient is their ability to "double up" and go longer distance with more power. China only requires jobs that a single engine can do, which steam engines can do just as well as diesels if not better.

This display, while incredible, shows how desperately ill-maintained these steamers are. The coal burning steamers tend to build up ash, especially with the kind of coal that's dug up in Sandaoling. These ashes get collected in the ash pan underneath the firebox and also tend to get caught in the flues, especially when the locomotive is working hard. Standard procedure dictates that the ashes get dumped every 12-24 hrs. and the flues get cleaned about every year or so. With these locomotives sparking the way they are, I'd venture to guess that they almost never get their ash pans dumped as evidenced by the way these "eruptions" occur only when the engineer throws the throttle open and the flues get cleaned very rarely.

Yes, engine 'runs away' until throttle gets notched back some.

Wheel slip, you back off the power and then try again, same as you would in a car.

It must be quite a steep upgrade, those Locos are being worked right to the maximum, going by the wheel slippage and the amount of steam injection into the stack to pull a draft.

Only one of these wagons is actual 'load'. The rest is used to get the train up the hill.

The load are the passengers. "How much is the fare from Sandaoling to Nandaoling?" "15 wagons of coal if you operate the train"

Nice !!!

Wow! Super! Thanks for posting!

That is the coolest steam train ever!

I finally understand how steam engines can create wildfires.

⭐️Outstanding footage. Thanks for sharing ⭐️

Imagine lighting up one of those coal cars by those molten looking coals! I could envision coal dust settling into the corners of the coal cars and those hot coal "sparks" rolling down and collecting in a corner, with new ones constantly accumulating until the coal dust finally ignites.

wow that's cool ..I never seen that before Fire sparks from a Steam train.

Judging by the stack talk, the grade is significant and the loco is working hard. In addition to wheel spin contributing to live cinder showers, the fireman may be sanding the flues on a repeated basis for maximum efficiency.

exact opposite, this is the way NOT to run a steam engine. This is what happens when too much air is let in, burns coal faster and hotter, uses more water and does not produce the torque needed. This was not a long heavy train, most likely had fire box wide open while dumping in coal. Like flooring an old truck up a hill in 5th gear.

this the only steam train left in china, owned and operated in the side the coal mine, not connect to the state own rails. also heard the train has retired already from last year( not confirmed).

Yep, you gotta go to a third world country too see that.

Steam trains are potentially more environmentally freindly depending of whether it burns coal or wood. Also steam engines have way more torque at lower speeds which allows the engine to turn slower which reduces maintenance. Steam engines also dont idle.

Hell On Wheels. Its eerie how hard that engine is working. Never heard one pushed to its limits like that.

I remember the rail yard in St Paul and the Union Depot, Getting on a train and going to Grand Forks ND .

That's just amazing, You would think they would find a better way. But then a gain, the fuel is free, since it's a coal mine.
