Diesel locomotive 东风 0149 (DF 0149) and train.I believe that this photo shows the "second" of the two daily "intercity" trains to Guangzhou.

 My notes confirm the location as Sheung Shui (上水) station. I believe that this train was working northward.

This image is very similar to http://gwulo.com/atom/19005, likely to be taken a few moments earlier or later.

On both images the same person in uniform is shown, but here the name given is Cmdr. Peter MacRitchie of HMCS Prince Robert, where on "19005" its Lieutenant-Commander Fred Day.
