中国 内蒙古自治区 集通鉄路 復活の前進型蒸気機関車 (1) Revived Qian Jin Type Steam Locomotives in Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region (1)

前回は大井川鐵道でしたので、復活蒸気機関車つながりということで、今回は内蒙古自治区、集通鉄路の復活運転です。
2005年の12月で無煙化が達成されてしまった集通鉄路ですが、機関車は何台か動態保存されており、2007年暮れに内蒙古自治区克什克腾旗の経棚峠にて復活運転が行われました。

前進型の重連による運行というマニア垂涎のイベントでしたが、牽引している貨車が空車なので、もの凄いスピードで駆け抜けていました。せっかくだからもっとゆっくり走ればいいのに……

峠を挟んで2箇所にループ線がありますが、今回は南西側の、経棚駅寄りのループ線の写真です。

今回の撮影場所は、こちらになります。

In the previous article, I introduced the preserved steam locomotives in Oigawa Railway. This time, I introduce another revived steam engines at Jitong Railway in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Though all steam locomotives of Jitong Railway retired in December 2005, they were not dead. Some of the steam engines were preserved in working condition and finally they decided to operate steam engines at Jingpeng pass at Heshigten Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the end of 2007!

Double headed QJ (Qian Jin) Type locomotives were operated but freight wagons were empty. The train tore through the pass so fast. It seemed the driver forgot why they drove these locomotives again and drove full throttle!

There are two loop lines across the mountain pass. In this article, I introduce the pictures in south west side loop line where is located at Jingpeng station side.

The pictures in this article were taken here.

これは前日ですが、ループ線の高架橋を行く重連の前進型です。
天候が悪く、小雪がちらついていました。風も強くかなりの酷寒でした。
This picture was taken the day before. Double headed QJs are going on the loop bridge. Unfortunately the weather was not so nice. It was light snowfall and strong wind and very very cold.
