Individual loco allocations are certainly useful info Roy (although I trawl myself from time to time). What I (and I imagine a few others) try to record is...
A new "modular" SS7E (numbered 6002) has appeared. It has been photographed at Zhengzhou and carries the ZhengZheng depot characters, not Xi'an. It has a...

Dear Roy, the old list showed 0063-0067 as GuangShenRailway property (Guangzhou-Shenzhen). So, it is quite probable, that they are still assigned there... Keep...
