Silhouetted against the early morning sun, the incredibly filthy and unkempt 'environment' at Xiamiao Zi depot looks (almost) inviting! SY 0638 is almost ready for her daily toils, moving empties to the Nanpiao system mines, returning with coal to the central washery and thence to the CNR exchange sidings. Occasional passenger duties and trips to the coal slurry make light relief!
