A Remarkable Survivor
DF4 0008 was photographed east of Bingmaying dragging a long train of boxcars along the line from Beijing towards Longhua on 18 October 2008. Very few of the original batch of 109 DF4s have been reported in traffic in recent years, so finding one of the first 10 in use came as a great surprise.
