SY1771 stops at a tiny halt near Haojiagou village on the way back to Diaobingshan from Kangping, via Faku. The train passes the Paoziyan Reservoir in temperatures of minus 10c and in a biting wind.
This SY was built in 1999 and is the penultimate standard gauge steam loco built in the world (with the exception of Tornado). The last built, SY1772, which is plated as 1999 but was outshopped in early 2000, is also based on the TieFa system.
