Our Digitally Remastered Series are bigger, better and in stunning HD for the very first time! These are the original programmes which have been put through the upscale and remastering treatment with improvements to audio, colour balance, contrast and most of all - picture quality.

The year 2000 is the year of the Dragon, and time to witness dramatic QJ steam action over the famous JingPeng Pass in Inner Mongolia, this time in the snow. See also the amazing coal trains at AoBaoGou with three QJ's lifting their loads up the hill. Finally, freight on the Chengde Steelworks branch.
The Ji-Tong railway in Inner Mongolia is 100% steam operated over its 1000 Km length including the famous JingPeng Pass. The action in the winter snow and sunshine at temperatures down to minus 20 degrees C is spectacular. Experience a cab ride on a QJ up the pass with other dramatic lineside shots. The greatest steam show on earth in year 2000.
No less than 3 QJ's are required to lift the coal trains up the hill at AoBaoGou. Finally witness a coal train stall on the 1:33 of the Chengde Steelworks branch.
