Caption - Chinese Railways FD class 2-10-2 1838 with a southbound goods at Xujiahui in the western suburbs of Shanghai in December 1980. Like all locos based in Shanghai it looks in excellent external condition. The 1054 FD's were purchased second hand from Soviet Railways in 1958 to relieve a desperate shortage of freight motive power and were concentrated in Southern China and lasted until 1985. The locos were originally built in 1930's and most Chinese examples ran with twelve wheel bogie tenders.
