The single video with the greatest variety in Chinese traction. Funny how many of the steam locomotives are younger than a lot of the electric equipment. The fronts of those EMU's are clearly modelled to the cab fronts of the Fliegende Hamburger from Germany, also from the 1930s.
I think that the locomotive in 16:12 wasn't an ET6 class. I believe that it was an ET7 class tank engine,but it was rebuilt as a tender locomotive just like some other ET7s in Baotou Steel Work.
Crazy how fast everything changed as soon as tge soviet union collapsed and capitalism came same with east Germany where I am from very fast change in Rail transportion
The difference between this 1988 and what you saw of China of China in 2018 is NOT that "miraculous" as you make out to be...... All one NEEDS to do is look at the impoverishment of South Korea in the middling 1960s and then look at South Korea in the late 1990s (despite the 1997 crisis) and you'll see that the 3 decade change in China is NOT that much different from the 3 decade change in South Korea. Of course what makes China stand out IS THE SCALE.
