Description
A superb DVD to celebrate ten years operation of the last major steam railway in the world
The now internationally famous Ji Tong railway opened in 1995 and when news of this wonderful new steam line initially reached the west Tele Rail became the first professional film crew to visit the line, and we’ve been going back there ever since !
Back then no one could ever have dreamt that this magnificent 943 kilometre line would employ QJs for over ten years but that’s exactly what happened.
Now with the final section due to be dieselised in Autumn 2005 it’s an appropriate time to enjoy 10 years of unsurpassed steam action. This brand new DVD celebrates the very best steam action from over the years throughout the entire length of this famous line :-
– Jing Peng the highest spot on the line action from the depths of winter to the last Autumn of steam in 2004.
– Atmospheric shed visits to Daban, Chabuga, Holuka & Baiqi.
– Lindong summer 2005 scenes across the beautiful Mongolian grasslands as steam works out the final minutes before dieselisation.
If you were lucky enough to visit this breathtaking line when steam reigned supreme this magnificent DVD will make a wonderful souvenir. If you didn’t get the chance to visit the last great steam line on earth this fabulous programme will take you there!

Russell Newman –
The Triumph of Steam DVD is just awesome looking at the Legendry Jitong Railway in Inner Mongolia in North, East, China when it was still 100% steam worked by China’s famous QJ Class 2-10-2 steam locomotives from 1995 to December 2005. Happly three of the QJ locomotives that worked on the Jitong Railway then have survived out in the United States of America since April 2006, with 6988 and 7081 in Iowa USA and 7040 in Kentucky USA which those three QJ’s are featured in this DVD as it’s worth watching as if you have visited this railway or you have not had the chance too this DVD on what was the last Great Steam show on the planet then is worth having.
