The China Railways Dongfang Hong diesel-hydraulic locomotive classes DFH2 DFH5 DFH6 and DFH7 built from the 1970s to 1990s were all used as shunters on the Chinese railway network.The use of diesel-hydraulic shunters has fallen out of favour on the Chinese rail network with diesel-electric locomotives being used however diesel-hydraulic machines continued to be produced for industrial railways – mainly the China Railways GK classes.The DFH21 class is a meter gauge version of the DFH2 and was used on the Yunnan–Vietnam Railway for both passenger and freight services; the same machines are used on the Vietnam Railways where they are known as the D10H.
