ZDM-5 524 lying in derelict condition outside the erstwhile Janakpur Diesel Loco Shed.
In 1994, the Indian Railways transferred five ZDM-5 locomotives to Nepal for operation on the Jaynagar - Janakpur Dham narrow gauge line, following the closure of narrow gauge rail lines in the Nagpur division. On October 28, 1994; the ZDM-5 locomotives began hauling passenger trains, marking the shift from steam traction to diesel traction for Nepal Railway. Over the years, two more locomotives were sent to Nepal. However, after the closure of the narrow gauge line in 2014, two locomotives, 524 and 534, have been left untouched and have remained at the loco shed for over a decade.

Bristol 2016/1928 worksplates and in fact a later Hunslet-built product) is seen crossing the border between India and near Jaynagar, heading a special working to Janakpurdham and Bijalpura. on 12th January 1999.
The Nepal Railways Corporation Ltd. operates a short narrow gauge railway that extends from India into Nepal. The Jayanagar-Janakpuur-Bijalpura Railway (NJJR) was introduced in Nepal during the Rana period. The current gauge is 762 mm (2 ft 6 in), however there is a long-term plan to covert this to the 'broad gauge' (1,676 mm 5 ft 6 in), compatible with the Indian Railways.

The 07:50 Jaynagar to Janakpurdham service arriving at its destination on 12th January 1999 with ZDM5 class No.524 in charge. Janakpur is located in the Terai, alluvial, forested and marshy terrain at the base of the Himalaya mountain range. Historically called Mithilanchal, it is the centre of the ancient Maithil culture, which has its own language and script. The Janakpur Railway of 2ft 6in (762 mm) gauge was opened in 1937 and ran for about 51 km between Jaynagar (India) and Bizalpura, but only the section from Jaynagar to Janakpurdham (about 24 km) is now open. There is an interchange at Jayanagar with the North Eastern Railway of India. In 1994, the service was augmented by the transfer of coaches and five ZDM-5 diesel locomotives from India's SER Nagpur division, as seen in this image.
