2004rif. 219697Privately Printed. 2004 2005 and 2010. A meticulously kept richly detailed collection of colour and black and white photographs two self-published spiral-bound books and a manuscript most likely intended to be printed in a similar manner to the two books. The collection consists of: 7 colour photographs and 23 black and white photographs most likely dating from the mid-2000s and measuring 20 x 25.5cm on average; A Week on the Jining-Tongliao Jitong Railway 2004 62pp 29 x 32cm spiral-bound; A Day on the Jitong Railway 2005 56pp 29 x 32cm spiral-bound; and Huanan Forestry Railway 2010 10pp 31 x 34cm leaves inserted into stapled sleeves. Principal focus is on the Jining-Tongliao Railway in Inner Mongolia and captures the railway as it was before its electrification in the 2010s. The two books relating to the railway are carefully captioned in intricate detail and give particular attention to the locomotives pictured and the character of the line's geography. The book relating to the Huanan Forestry Railway is curious for its timing with its photographs having been captured in 2010 - only a year before the railway's final closure and the replacement of its functions by a lorry service. .
