QJ 7204

1988 built QJ 7204 shuffles down the yard at Xinan Colliery towards the loading bunkers. By January 2006 this locomotive was relegated to standby and shunting as the line service had already been taken over by diesels. This big beast was one of the last of this class of locomotive built but had little time left and as far as I know this was the last time it was recorded in steam. It was seen dumped a few months later.
