The rolling stock industry in China is booming. All Chinese rolling stock is now produced in house and they also export a lot of their rolling stock to other parts of the globe. Australian company ATN Access recently purchased a large amount of grain hoppers from China. Below is a selection of freight and passenger cars.

Some S type cabooses which seemed to be mandatory in China, but are probably being taken out of service now due to the demise of steam. Many, however, can still be found on freight trains all over China. The first photograph was taken somewhere in Mid China, the second just outside Shanghai and the third was attached to the rear of a double header steam train on the Ji-Tong line.

A stainless steel passenger coach I saw near Tai Wo, Hong Kong SAR. These are used on an international service, although I'm not sure which one. I have also heard these were made in Korea, but I am not sure if this is accurate or where I heard it from. April 29 2001.

A classic dark green and gold YZ passenger car pulled by a DF4b at Shenzhen, PRC. May 25 2001.

A green and gold XL passenger/baggage car I photographed at a station just before Ghanzhou, PRC. January 31 2000.

Some RW cars. First photo taken in Shanghai January 26, 2000, the second at Ghanzhou January 31 2000.

The interior of a sleeping car on the Beijing-Shanghai route. There are six bunks per open compartment with a single row of seats in the corridor, very cramped cars really! January 25 2000.

A DJ car. I'm not sure what these cars are for, presumably the same as the KD cars as it was shunted onto the rear of a string of SYZ double decker cars at Shenzhen, May 25 2001.

An RZ passenger coach 10826, at University, New Territories HKSAR. September 7th 2001
