Harbin Depot (2)

12th October 1992

QJ No.679 awaiting the turntable at Harbin Depot before working north to Hailar. The turntables at the depots we visited were all electrically operated and the staff were very slick in their operation.

A wider view of the semi-roundhouse and turntable with QJ No.679 setting back and No.3400 also in view.

By the coaling plant was JS No.5954 looking rather neglected and unwanted. Steam coaling crane in background

QJs No. 679 having left the turnable now passing the end of the semi-roundhouse.

QJs No. 3385 awaits its next turn of duty at the head of a long line of locomotives.
