As China reduces capacity amid fights against pollution, coal mines like Sandaoling are shutting down. Meanwhile, by 2020, China will have 30,000 km of high-speed railway in operation, connecting more than 80 percent of its big cities.
Steam locomotives are no longer manufactured in the country, so when a train breaks down there is no way to repair it.
