Chinese Steam Engine pulling passenger cars up a very very steep grade. You can hear a few times when the engine loses traction.. Kind of neat..

Thanks for posting the link. An almost identical Chinese steam locomotive operates late Spring through Fall in Phillipsburg, NJ. It travels over part of the same route that the iron ore trains took on their way from Philadelphia to Bethlehem Steel:
