A Jiayang Trainset runs into the terminal station on October 5, 2007 in Qianwei County of Leshen City, Sichuan Province, China. The narrow-gauge railway was built in 1958 by the Jiayang Coal Mine, it runs at a total length of 19.84 km and the gauge is 76.2 cm, half that of the common standard. These 'living fossils of the Industrial Revolution' are the only old-style narrow-gauge steam locomotives still carrying passengers.

P.S. I’d add “Organizing the world’s press” to the list.
