caption_attribution_description: English: SN-29 steam locomotive, built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia in 1923. It operated on the 600 mm gauge Ge-Bi-Shi railway between 1926-1991. Presenty on display in the Yunnan Railway Museum (Kunming North Railway Station)
context_page_description: The gauge for the most of the China national railway network is standard gauge. Currently, in the national railway network, only the 1,000 mm metre gauge Kunming–Hai Phong Railway uses narrow gauge. In addition, there are some industrial lines still using narrow gauge, mostly 2 ft 6 in narrow gauge or 600 mm narrow gauge. As of 2003, 600+ km narrow-gauge railways, 50000+ km standard gauge railways, and 9.4 km broad gauge railways were in use in mainland China.
