JS 8197 drifted into Dongbolizhan with its train of side tippers at 08:30 on the morning of 26 November 2016. This was the last train of empties to leave the Xuanmeichang washery before shift change and had been waiting at Kengkouzhan for a fresh crew to arrive before running into Dongbolizhan to be serviced and watered.
Although sunrise was still half an hour away, the glow on the eastern horizon was just bright enough to illuminate the scene, with a little help from the yard lighting.
