Altered Appearance
KD6 487 was the last example of the class in service and was photographed in the track depot at Pingzhuang opencast mine on 17 November 1996. Most KD6 received new cabs and taller chimneys after arrival in China but the addition of a skyline casing and smoke deflectors make this loco almost unrecognisable as a USATC 2-8-0.
