Season's Greetings to all TO Members
Author: africansteam

November 1, 2007 found this spreader in the company of JS 6430 cleaning up the overburden from the rails in the Sandalong open pit coal mine near Hami, China. The snow On the mountains in the background may have moved a bit lower by now, giving Her some light plow duties as well.

Cheers,
Jack

Each signal governs one of the seven tracks used to dump the overburden. Three of those tracks can be seen in this view. The signals are just out of frame to the right.

Cheers,
Jack

Thats a great greeting card. Is the spreader a Jordan or a knockoff?

Rodger, I believe it is a Chinese copy, but I could not find a builder's plate to verify this.

Cheers,
