Ciaotou Sugar Refinery Part 2, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, August 2015

OK, here's part two of the Ciaotou Sugar Refinery explore. If you like rusty shunters you are in for a treat. The refinery had its own rail system for bringing in the sugar cane then shipping out the sugar.

Superb post. I do like those shunting locomotives. This must have been quite a big place in its time going by the amount of railway engines.

Cheers guys...yes extensive rail sidings and shunters here. Along with engine sheds and maintenance facilities. Gem of a place. It's all about the orange - the livery of the shunters and the rust on the plant!
