The arrival of five CNR DF4s on the Tongliao - Chabuga section at the end of 2003 brought about a cull of some of the older QJs. QJ 6125 was photographed on what was almost certainly its last run, on 7 December 2003, working a Chabuga - Daban freight up the bank east of Lindong. The veteran machine was 22 years old and had previously served at Hexipu and Zhongwei before moving to the JiTong line.
