In a quiet black-and-white frame, a Chinese railway dining car breathes between services: checkered cloths, spindle-back chairs, and curtained windows lining the aisle. A few travelers linger over tea, faces catching the passing light, while fluorescent fixtures and ceiling fans date the scene. It’s a modest, timeless portrait of early-2000s rail—unhurried, communal, and steadily rolling toward the next station.
