Post subject:  The Way We (Really) Were
Industrial railroading from China and India, looking much like it must have here a century and more ago; I can easily see my father in his younger years, and both my grandfathers, in the footage of the Chinese coal miner in the second clip:

Clay hauler in China, serving a brickworks; one wonders how a translation of the foreman's comments in the second clip would come out. Actually, one wonders if a translation of said foreman's comments would be appropriate on a family-friendly forum . . .

Standard gauge in China; I can't help but see what could almost be a Virginian MB in the Chinese SY, as overall size and proportions look at least a little similar:
