Pingdingshan had several QJs on its roster but two seemed to be favorites and saw the lion's share of the action. QJ 2035 was the older of the pair, a 30 year veteran still looking and sounding good after most of its younger classmates had gone to the scrapper. Neither loco had smoke deflectors, a modification which gave them a very powerful appearance. QJ 2035 was photographed trundling through Tianzhuang yard light engine on 15 February 2004.
