It had been one of those days.
The weather had been mixed but there was never any sun when there were trains
around. We'd waited in the gloom for 30 minutes while an SY was serviced at
the stabling point then watched in despair as it left 10 seconds before the
sun came out. Then, just when it seemed too late, an approaching train was
heard crawling up the grade very, very slowly. After an eternity, an SY trundled
across the bridge at the same time that the sun dropped out of the clouds
and hit the horizon. It's nice to win one occasionally.
That's it. We didn't manage to photograph anything else moving at Pingzhuang but we did find a good noodle shop at the level crossing near the brewery.
