hanoirailtours · 04-13-2008, 11:06 PM

During March and April we arrange for some EU group visit Steel Factory and arrange Steam train for them. I enclose here some photos that special in Vietnam because not so much people in Vietnam know that: steam locos still in use

Visit to the steelworks Thai Nguyen and pictures of blast furnace area

Add more water and coal

Taking photo at slagtip

And at depot

Some where in steel factory

And tour with 030 (1435mm)

Need more water outside station

And other steam loco 131 (1000mm) this one made in Japan 1932.

In the end of 2008 and 2009 we decided to repair this loco to server for tourist

This loco made by Gia Lam Depot (Hanoi Vietnam) special design by Vietnam Railways 1965

Yes, they certainly are excellent photos.
It looks like a big task to bring the last loco up to a working condition.
