QJ.7081 was only a couple of years old and still looked very smart when it was photographed cresting the summit east of Tumenling with a westbound freight from Jilin to Changchun on 2 April 1988.
The same loco would later become a familiar sight on the JiTong line and lasted until the end of main line steam operations in late 2005. It was later bought by the Railroad Development Corporation and exported to the USA.
