Last year, China announced a plan to establish the Xiongan New Area in Hebei Province. The small region was suddenly thrust into the limelight – just as Shenzhen was when China decided to build its first ever Special Economic Zone there in 1980. The blueprint for the Xiongan New Area is a Chinese model for world-class urban development. #XiJinping,#BeiJingReview | Beijing Review

A brief look inside the cab of a class 45 locomotive. 45108 has recently returned to the Midland Railway - Butterley from its placement at the East Lancashire Railway to have some repairs and maintenance work carried out. You can see the cab interior is looking a bit tired, but it probably looks similar to how it was when it was in British Rail service. The mighty Sulzer engine still runs sweetly though! #trains #diesellocomotive #britishrailways #railways #trainspotting #heritagerailway #class4
