China Steam

A secret railroad, a government hell-bent on making sure it stays that way, and a small group of passionate truth-seekers - its the stuff of best-selling fiction. Except its real. There is a labyrinth of steam railways in operation in remote China - the last of its kind in the universe - and filmmaker John Agnew is set on finding it even as Chinese officials deny its very existence.

In China Steam, visit an extraordinary place where steam is still a modern power. Travel there with Agnew and his crew in below-freezing temperatures across a desolate and beautiful landscape to capture the majestic and powerful steam engines doing what they were built to do. Watch massive QJ engines hail their enormous loads, see a fleet of high deflector JS locomotives and discover an antique narrow gauge forestry line.
