Our first overseas production takes us to North East China to witness steam hard at work. From small narrow-gauge systems to the incredible sight of double-headed steam working heavy trains over the notorious Jingpen Pass. Beautifully filmed and a wonderful insight into steam's last stronghold.

We visit the following:

• Dahuichang Narrow Gauge Limestone Railway
• The Bejing Railway Museum
• Jinxi Loco Shed
• Nanpiao Mine Railway
• Pingzhuang
• Yuanbaoshan
• Fuxin Mine Railway
• Fuxin Loco Works
• Benxi Steelworks
• Tiefa Mine Railway
• Jixi Mine Railway
• Huanan Narrow Gauge Railway
• Hegang Mine Railway
• Daban Loco Shed
• The Spectacular Jitong Line

Plenty of on-screen maps and detailed narration give you a complete insight into steam operations in steam's last stronghold.

DVD includes scene selection and extra bonus features on class profiles and the ability to switch the narration on or off, so you can just listen to the sounds of the locos.
