| Remarks & Notes |
| YJ 272 is shunting in the Tangshan coal mine. The YJ design is based on pre-war PL2 class 2-6-2, itself derived from the JF6 2-8-2, the predecessor of the well known SY class mikado. According to Chinese sources a total of 202 locos were produced between 1958 and 1961. Jinan built 117 (including the #272), Tangshan 80, Wuchang 2 and Mudanjiang 3. The last report of a YJ in normal service was YJ 232 at Baotou Steelworks in early 2002. |
