Brilliant footage.

It does show the lack of concern for the environment that Chinese industry generally has.   Imagine running a loco spewing forth the amount of ash the footage shows anywhere in Europe, the US or South Africa !

Aside from the reduced operational readiness that the loco would have due to the boiler tubes needing to be cleaned out far more often.
