SY.3005 left the loading area, deep in the pit, on 4 March 2009, bound for the unloading point beneath the washery.
This was one of around 24 SYs built at Changchun Works during the 1990s. The Changchun engines don't seem to have been highly regarded and many had very short working lives. SY.3005 was an exception and appeared to be one of the better engines at Zhalainuo'er, remaining in service until the end of opencast operations.
