Myanmar's locomotive to be new landmark on Lianmeng Road

"How could a locomotive be placed in Lianmeng road?" Passengers passing by the road may raise such a question, doubting whether the locomotive is for a steam train or not.

A staff member of the Panlong district introduced that the locomotive that had been parked on the road is a steam-engined train presented as a gift by Myanmar government in October last year.

It is parked on the present location temporarily and will be a new landmark of Lianmeng Road around the North Railway Station as a railway-themed road.

"As a symbol of friendship between China and Myanmar, two sets of steam locomotives, a steam crane, a platform truck, and a tank truck were given by the Myanmarese government at a time." The locomotive parks in the Lianmeng Road, and another meter-gauge locomotive is also displayed in Yunnan Railway Museum.

The locomotive, which stands in the Lianmeng Road, has a black body and scarlet wheels. English words were branded on it, "Made in England in 1947". And under its chassis is a meter-gauge railway with a length of 50 meters.

A related principal said: " In memory of Yunnan-Vietnam Railway which has been open to traffic for 100 years, a proposal of redesigning Lianmeng Road into a road featuring railway culture has been approved by Yunnan government at different levels. "

The first Chinese railway was established in 1876. Rail routes in the country are mapped widely.
