Trainz 2019 DLC: QJ Steam Locomotive invites players to explore one of the most powerful steam engines in Chinese railway history. This downloadable content for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 introduces the mighty QJ class locomotive, a stalwart of freight transport from the 1970s to the 1990s.

Rich Historical Context of the QJ Class

The QJ class, originally built in the Datong locomotive factory, has roots steeped in history. It transitioned from the HP designation to FD class before taking on its well-known name in 1971. By the 1980s, the QJ was the backbone of China's mainline freight operations, demonstrating its power and reliability. As diesel locomotives phased out steam power, many QJs found new life on industrial lines and the Jitong railway, with several still preserved today.
