As the high-speed electronic train becomes the major mode of rail transportation, steam locomotives are gradually fading into history. In Fuxin city, northeast China's Liaoning province, the country's last few steamed trains will be out of service in June, symbolizing the complete end of the old time -- Age of Steam.
