I didn't realize this stuff was chartered. I think I have seen some of these images on your website before, but thought it was regular service, or maybe I am confusing with another trip, which had passenger steam on the NG!!!!
Anyway interesting, and shows the hardships a fan overseas has to endure. Thats another reason South Africa was so nice....English, very American-Like, with good food and other things.
Looks like you had several experiences in China. My brother Randy was there twice in the 80's and got the SL and RM pacifics in action.
