Steam Train Provides Link Between China's Past And Present

SHIXI, CHINA - MARCH 26: A local villager stands next to the tracks as a coal powered train passes near the station on March 26, 2015 in the town of Shixi, Sichuan Province, in Southern China. While China boasts the world's most extensive high-speed rail infrastructure with over 16,000 kilometers of track, the Shixi-Bagou railway is still a primary connection for local villagers between towns and is kept alive by tourist cars carrying passengers for ten times the price. The rail line came into service in the late 1950s and the train was initially used to transport coal from a now-shuttered mine before passenger carriages were added.
