DF5

The Dongfeng 5, or DF5 for short, (Chinese: 东风5; pinyin: Dōng Fēng Wǔ) is a diesel-electric locomotive used by China Railway in the People's Republic of China. It has been in production since 1976 and is still produced as of 2006 by several local companies. It is the most common road-switcher in China and is used for both shunting and mainline duties. A small number are also in service with the Korean State Railway in North Korea.
