The locos fill both roads of a two road shed which is very dark. There is no room to take any photos and it is unlikely that the shed is generally open to the public although no doubt other visits could be arranged.

To get to the banking station, get off at the central hospital. For the depot at Shuangtashan, take No 5, which will also take you further up the hill on the Chengde side of the tunnel if you don't want to walk so far for the summit shots. In practice, it is however easier to get one of the private minibuses which tout fiercely for business, most of which do the route from Chengde railway station to the steelworks and vice versa. However, they stop short of the steelworks, whereas No 5 will take you to it.
