three Photographers, Who Have Visited China 35 Times Over A Ten-year Period, Create What Will Likely Be The World’s Final Photographic Essay Of The Steam Engine Era. Nostalgic And Evocative, These Images Capture A Special Moment In History. China Was The Last Country To Build Steam Locomotives…and The Last To Stop Using Them. For Years, Authorities Planned To Eradicate Steam By The 2008 Olympics; They Have Now Practically Achieved This Goal. Scenes Such As Those Shown In These Pages Will Be No More. The Remarkable Array Of Photos Includes Sheds, Workshops, And Steelworks; Trains, Stations, And Ticket Booths; Narrow-gauge Railways In Beijing And The Northeast; And Every Region From Tonghua And Hunjiang To Pingdingshan. Most Impressive Of All: The Jitong Railway, The Greatest Steam Show On Earth.
