A vintage steam locomotive is now open to the public at White Pagoda Park in Hangzhou.
The locomotive has been retrofitted with an electric motor and it pulls a green passenger car with 108 seats along a 500-meter track. The train was built in 1988 in Changchun, Jilin Province.
The park also features a stationary, old locomotive with three passenger cars. The nine-story White Pagoda was built between AD 907-979 and was listed as a national heritage site in 1988. A section of the city’s oldest railway, built in 1905, used to cut through the park and has been preserved.
Hangzhou has three other steam locomotives — one at Jiangsu Railway Relics Park, another at Hangzhou Steel Plant, and the final one at the Xiangshan campus of the China Academy of Art.
